What book did you read at a wildly inappropriate age and how did that impact you?

Mine was The Witching Hour by Anne Rice, about a cursed dynasty of witches and also death and scandal, and it helped shape me into the tiny goth wannabe weirdo I was until age 16. Adorable!! but also weird

The Anne Rice book was about the Mayfair clan of witches and they were hot rich and successful and cursed. There was a lot of relatives killing each other, some incest, and one guy& #39;s dead body rolled into a carpet and left there? It was BONKERS I genuinely loved it

The present-day plot was about this hot smart neurosurgeon lady who resuscitates a guy with psychic powers who& #39;s like 16 years older and they fuck and ~fall in love and I was like YAAAAWN
