RAVE - Anne Rice

Post by InvincibleCakeEater »

I've seen Interview With the Vampire quite a few times, but just decided to read the book. I usually stick to literary classics, but her descriptive writing is incredible. I now have the rest of her series, Lestat, Armand, Vittorio, Memnoch the Devil waiting to be read. I recommend her novels to everyone here.

I enjoyed her books much more than the movie.....haven't read her stuff in quite some time. I may have to re-read some!

the series really starts off well but tails off at the end (IMO, of course).

Interview/Lestat/Queen of the Damned is an excellent quasi-trilogy. The next two weren't bad but weren't as good. I lost interest after that and haven't read the final 3.

I remember her being interviewed on KMOX one night. I recall her having a really hard time deciding when a caller asked, if given the opportunity, would she herself choose to become a vampire. Interesting question.

Are one of her book series becoming the new HBO series about vampires?
I can't remember the name, but it centers on a female vampire in the south. Anna Paquin will be playing the lead. I hope it's really, good, because HBO's dramas need some now.

I think that's actually True Blood and isn't Anne Rice related (despite it being about vampires in Louisiana). The first I heard about it was earlier today while reading an interview with Michael Emerson (Ben on Lost) over at AICN; apparently his wife has a role in the series.
