I don’t think jumpscares are possible in written form

There’s technically no sex but blood drinking is portrayed as being very similar to sex for vampires so reading those scenes can feel like reading a sex scene. Otherwise their are some brief references to sex but nothing extreme

Lestat’s childhood was abusive and is described in some detail. There’s some minimal description of a father threatening to break his sons hands

Lestat’s horse and dogs die at the beginning. He apparently cared for and loved them like pets

The book starts with Lestat heading out on horseback to kill a pack of wolves that were harassing his village. All the wolves die in this sequence, and their deaths are graphically described

There’s reoccurring imagery of witch burning trials for symbolism sake, two vampires kill themselves by going into fires, there’s references to interview with the vampire in which Lestat was set on fire

Lestat throws up blood shortly after his vampiric transformation and proceeds to…lick it up

This book is incredibly self referential. Lestat addresses the audience multiple times and the concept that he is a real vampire who is writing a book that is going to be published is essential to the plot. If forth wall breaking is triggering to you I honestly suggest you don’t read this series, because it’s extremely prevalent and relevant to the plot
