Not technically, however, Lestat’s vampire transformation in which he’s abducted from his home and forced to be turned into a vampire is considered by many fans to be reminiscent of rape in multiple ways and could be triggering to read because of the rape-like imagery that’s used.
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
One of the characters was turned into a vampire as a 17 year old boy, and therefore appears like one for eternity. He is implied to have had experienced grooming and SA as a human child in a backstory montage, though this is vaguely referenced and is sort of blink and you’ll miss it, so I don’t consider it majorly triggering. Regardless, said character behaves as a sexual being, which could be uncomfortable to read since he appears underaged.
Vaguely? Lestat’s relationship with his mother is very weird and def comes off as incest-y but not it’s not explicitly romantic or sexual. They do kiss quite a bit tho so I’d be weary if incest is a trigger for u
Lestat’s horse is attacked by wolves to the point where it can’t walk, so he puts it down by shooting it with his gun. The horrific nature of the horses death is described in a lot of detail since it was traumatic for Lestat to witness, and it’s brought up throughout the book for symbolic reasons
Non graphically but implied, when it comes to older brothers beating a younger sibling as a punishment, fathers beating their sons, etc. There’s no spousal abuse as far as I remember, however
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
The way your body changes as a vampire isn’t very scary in itself (in my opinion) but the characters experiencing it often expresses feelings of anguish at no longer feeling like themselves, being unable to recognize themselves in the mirror, etc, which is a tad body horror-y. Later in the book Lestat encounters vampires who are so old they’ve turned to statues over time and he experiences a lot of horror when he contemplates the morbidity of that. He wonders if they’re still conscious, etc
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
Gabrielle is a character who wasn’t intended to be trans but definitely displays gender dysphoria and a discomfort with womanhood, and is referred to with she/her pronouns throughout, so somewhat
Lestat is not a child when this happens, but towards the end of the book Lestat’s mother parts ways with him, and he expresses feelings of abandonment over this. This isn’t entirely the same but may resemble it.
Lestat getting abandoned and neglected by parental and mentor figures is a reoccurring part of his character so be weary if that stuff hits too close to home
There’s a scene where Lestat graphically attacks another vampire, though he heals from this pretty quickly bcus of vampire regeneration. It’s presumed that bones were broken
Part of the vampire transformation includes, ehem, relieving oneself of everything in one’s digestive system. Lestat ends up doing so in his pants suddenly. It’s not graphically described, but still
There’s a scene in which Lestat looks at his appearance post-vampire transformation and has a small breakdown when he realizes how much he’s changed. Lestat’s mother Gabrielle seems to have gender dysphoria, and there’s a scene where she has a dysphoric meltdown over her appearance never changing
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
