Le Domaine Blackwood

Anne Rice masterfully combines gothic horror with supernatural lore—I'm curious what influenced her to weave these genres together.

The characters' battles with their own nature felt so raw and real. I wonder if this was meant to mirror real-life self-discovery or just a storytelling choice.

The eerie, secluded farm adds so much to the mood—was this a conscious decision to make the setting almost a character itself?
