about "Interview with a vampire" not being a horror

Rating: 10/10 (7 December 2010)

I had seen the movie and that has determined me to read the book. Both movie and book are miles away from the horror genre. Both are exceptionally profound. The book is better, tough. That may be because of the power of the word. Example: read the section where Louis is awakening to his new vampire "life". The sensations, the intensity of perceiving the sounds, colors of the night are astonishing described. One does not need a psychological book after reading "Interview with a vampire". Yet those pages are quite impossible to be visualized. The movie, I am keeping in my mind as excellent and quite unique. And I remember that Tom Cruise has searched a way of uncommon vampire biting. He has founded that in the lions attack, he moved half a circle around, then the bite. So professional attitude.
