Maybe if this had been released today, this comic collection wouldn’t have been canceled after only four books, and we could’ve had more male nudity and maybe even a full-frontal Lestat. Mais la vie n’est pas juste.
Our fourth installment for Anne Rice August is Tale of the Body Thief, a continuation of Lestat’s adventures. On the surface, it deals with body (and youth) worship. Under it, it’s chock-full of homoerotica.
The blurb:
The vampire Lestat, bestselling author Anne Rice’s chilling creation, is back…in a graphic novel adaptation of The Tale of the Body Thief, part of the bloodsoaked Vampire Chronicles. Immortalised on screen by Tom Cruise in Interview With a Vampire, Lestat is the decadent, corrupt night dweller with a craving for human blood and the ethics of a snake. Now, transformed into a Dark God, Lestat embarks on his most surreal journey into the heart of darkness, wherein he must confront his own cursed immortality and the terrifying emptiness of his own soul. This time, the hunter has become the hunted! A horror classic, presented in graphic novel format.
