Yeah he's calling the story gay, not you. The use of 'gay' as a slur is quite general, it can just mean something like 'lame'. Which doesn't matter much, every way of using gay as a slur is stupid of course, even if it's supposed to be tongue in cheek

Yeah that doesn't make a difference, it's just a more specific form of saying 'that's lame'

Just started a five-book re-read of the recently deceased Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles. Looking forward to awakening some memories of my first experience with this, um, pentology.

I could read those out of nostalgia, but the ones after would probably be a slog. Nothing really happens and it turns into fanfic basically. Can't read any of her other stuff cause literally all of her characters are versions of her who like the same music and art and won't shut up about them. Even her descriptions of what it's like mentally and emotionally to be a vampire are just descriptions of bipolar disorder which I'm sure she has.

Yeah me too. I never read anything through after MTD: I tried Violin, bloody hated it, so depressing. Pandora didn't interest me, never bothered with Marius or Armand or any of the others. Never read her witch cycle or mummy cycle, and have no interest in her "life of Christ" books. So like you say, those five and that's more or less it. I might at some point read the "new" Lestat books, but I wonder what is left after you've met God and the Devil? Got to be a comedown after that?
