Lestat takes warnings and "no's" as just encouragement. Quoting a line from the book:
“Lestat, what did I say last night?” he asked. “You are the damnedest creature!”
That's it. That's the vibe of this entire book.

Graphic: Death, Gore, Incest, Suicide, Violence, Blood, Death of parent, Murder, Fire/Fire injury, and Injury/Injury detail
Moderate: Adult/minor relationship, Alcoholism, Sexual content, Kidnapping, Stalking, and Alcohol
Minor: Misogyny
Adding all the content warnings I could think of for this book was a freaking TRIP. This book is not for the faint of heart. A lot of heavy topics are presented here, but I think they're handled well.
