    Why do you find Anne Rice so neat and silly?

    I read some of her vampire books when I was young teenager and getting into gothy stuff and every single one that I picked up had multiple and extensively detailed csa scenes with children who adored their abusers.

    I gave up trying to read her books when I realised this was a recurring theme.

      Because they’re horror novels. They’re beautifully written, thought provoking and creative.

      I’m glad you stopped reading them if you found them too disturbing.
