As to the old musket wolf-killing scenes... they convinced me at the time, especially if he (Lestat) had more than one rifle. It wouldn't spoil the whole novel for me...
Have you read Dracula? It's an excellent example of that diary/journal form of writing, and quite an excellent feminist tract as well, if you can read between those lines...

Dracula is great. I loved it. Anne Rice I struggle with though. I personally found Interview with the Vampire terribly boring. I really struggled to get through it (although I did enjoy the movie). However, I did listen to an audio book of Servant of the Bones while on a road trip and enjoyed it.
When I first read Interview it was the early 90's and I was in my early 20's so maybe now I would appreciate it more.
