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.

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

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.

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

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

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
