Summary
Welcome to Nicolas de Lenfent's Hellscape. Steel yourself… 😭
This story follows Nicolas de Lenfent’s perspective from midway through The Children of Darkness encounter in Les Innocents (with Lestat, Gabrielle and Armand) through to Nicolas’ turning and becoming a vampire.
Content Warnings:
Extreme psychological disintegration.
References to past torture.
While this work does not include significant on-page violence beyond vampiric turning, it is thematically very dark.Themes include:
- complete dissolution of the self
- suicidal ideation framed as relief
- psychological horror
- body horror
- mental instability and hallucinations
- trauma, PTSD
- enmeshment
- loss of identity and realityThis is not a happy bedtime story.
(And if you came here hoping for one... I can only assume you've never met Nicolas! 😈)
Rated M for Madness: psychic horror, emotional chaos, and unraveling minds - just so you know... there is no explicit content of any form. But there's pure, unfiltered psychological intensity! Come hither... I promise I won't lock the cage once you're inside...
