Vampire Lestat Ball 2007

[ucantw84inspiration]

oh my gosh my heart just stopped i cant believe anne rice accually replies to comments and what not what a lady i mean thats so sweet :) i absoutly love the vampire chronicles,well i love basically love alll of her work,she not only tells a story,she brings you to a whole new world.

[Dank951]

I remember reading the Vampire Chronicles and just falling in love completely with the meaning, storyline, and characters within those novels. I respect her decision to let go of Lestat's world. And I continue to read all of her work. It is with great sadness that her Vampire stories have been over for several years but that doesn't mean her other work won't take you on that journey that the Vampire Chronicles took you on while reading.

[phoebeandcoop934]

Awresome video,loved it,have a great week,love and peace to you :) ^^

[Leestatlie]

what's the name of this vivaldi's song? :(

[SnapeAngel]

@Leestatlie

you know Leestatlie I should know but I can't place it now that I read the question. LOL It's not of the Four Seasons, it is one of his other mega famous pieces. I hope that helps you do a search, on here if no where else, to find it.

[lunaliberi]

I agree with redcorpse. Anne Rice is the most talented author I've had the privilege to read. I hate it when "True Vampire" fans start bashing her for her decision. I admire her for her choice to go what she needed, and wanted to do. Her writing is still wonderful, and thats what matters.

[chris82o]

i love it at the end party on.... but thank your for your books and amazing characters you have created

[xNicolasdeLenfentx]

Vivaldi's music goes perfect with this!!! x}

[petraizzg]

There are no words to describe how much her books mean to me and how much comfort and safety she gave me through them. I am forever grateful...

[ncsoil]

While reading The Vampire Lestat i often found myself weeping with the realization that her characters have more emotion and passion in one paragraph then i have in my entire body. I often paused to reflect on what i read to search for some instance in my life where i had ever felt anything so deeply and found myself at a loss.

[kanamesenpaixxx]

I'm a Christian and i love Anne Rice's vampire novels.

I hope she feels better...

[JellyBeanMainer]

There are balls? :) I didn't know. I wish I could go but I couldn't get much farther north inside America. I'm in Maine.

I love your work Anne, you are an inspiration to me. I love to write and wish I could actually accomplish something eith it someday. I did wish you'd continue writing vampire books but then again having only read under one and a half I've got a lot left to read. Never feel alone, i love you :)

[KeepFrozenThisSideUp]

So no more balls?

[Brilchan]

Apparently they Anna just dent make vid's for them you can find info about the balls on Anna's official site under the Lestat category

[sugarbabe20]

why is anne sad?

we love your work anne!!

believe in yourself!!

[ladystormannie]

You know anne...God doesn't mind if you write of Vampires my friend. Not all Vampires ARE dark oyu know. Some live near the Dessert, while yet others near the sea... You needn't feel alone because you aren't alone at all. The Lord is with you. Be happy! Love yer work!!!! Alaways have.Always will. no matter what you write. Hugs and bites, Ladystormannie

[bananabubblegum]

love u anne!! - dnt be sad! i dont even know wat the lestat ball is! :S. steph meyer ripped u off! sue! x

[LadyBurori]

How did she rip her off?

[badmudda]

steph never ripped her off, its obvious from meyers storyline that she pulled her books directly out of her ass.

[carpathiandragon]

:) beautiful description of her work indeed.

[kaikahitonari]

Anne create her work with Viennese and it turned out immaculate. Stephanie create a story based on a dream, and is intended for teenagers who does not notice grammatical mistakes. All in all, Anne is better than stephanie (duh) because she creates an awesome character that does not sparkles ;)

[carpathiandragon]

Yeesh =} , also Anne's stories are from the SOUL, as all real works of art are. Stephanie's stories, as you said, are based on some random girlish fantasy. All in all a very shallow origin for her story, therefore resulting in a shallow tale.

[andrika1990]

of course. of course. of course. God I have said this until I am blue in the face.

[Barracudarapture]

WAT BOUT 09!!! 2009! im going to new orleans

[carpathiandragon]

=( she does sound sad this time. Compare this one to the 2006 video. Is it me or is her voice a bit shaky too...Anne Rice you make me sad haha (humorless laugh). Love it when she reads from her books though, hope she does more!

[dflyygirl810]

Sadly she wont do any more vampire books :( Now shes this Jesus Freak who, like, worships God and likes to write books that "will please God", as she says.

[carpathiandragon]

But at least we have the books as they are, so we can go back and read them whenever we want. At least.

Besides she has a new series coming out that HAS to be good. The "Songs of Seraphim" with the first book being Angel Time. Can't wait for it to come out!

[forloveoffilm]

And the irony is she becomes a vastly better writer as her subjects become less interesting.

[Brilchan]

Their was a time that i though that she become a "Jesus freak " as you said but after reading her essay on her older books from her web site i now that it isn't true she just finds happiness in God and doesn't find her older books as something evil or wicked. She just doesn't feel the need to Wright about her vampire characters any more and it wouldn't be a good book if the author doesn't have any love or inspiration for it the tails of vampires are now over and it was a good one pace:)

[andrika1990]

Really? It always seemed because of the context of her writing that she was religious.

[TheNepenther]

Party on, Wayne!...

Party on, Garth!

;)

[PinTrickVamp]

!!!!?! ...nooo shes ruining my opinion! it seems vampires and such that im lookin up tonight are goth type! no offense but i love vampires and stuff but the darkness.. i got over that and now its all depressing to see again X.x old lady! i love your books though

[nixfire]

omg omg....i will go to New Orleans 4sure somday!!!!!

[jo123phoebe]

WHAT IS THIS MUSIC????? WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME??????/

I recognize it, but cannot name it!!! But i love it!! I MUST KNOW!!!!

[morbidlestat]

vivaldi - the four seasons :Summer

its about 5 minutes into the song though

also if you like metal check out Children of bodom covering it

[jo123phoebe]

Is that the bit at the very beginning? If so, THANK YOU so much!!!!!!

[Leestatlie]

@jo123phoebe

did you ever find out?

[Sanguiluna]

The Vampire Chronicles was ultimately a tale of rememption: the story of the will of one stubborn Brat Prince to rise and transcend himself, from the monster we are introduced to in "Interview with the Vampire", to the legendary vampiric hero we see in "Blood Canticle".

[SakuraMayonaka]

i love the vampire chronicles but the only one i enjoyed was interview with the vampire. the lestat in that had so much more strength, as the books went on i felt the character was getting weaker and weaker until finally i gave up. i still read interview with the vampire. this is just my opinion, as i said i still love the books and everyones entitled to an opinion. i've not been harsh so please, if anyone disagrees with my view don't be harsh to me, coz i respect everyone elses opinion.^^

[Sanguiluna]

Actually, if you read the 3rd book and beyond, he becomes one of the most powerful vampires alive, possessing abilities that most of his brethren could only dream of attaining.

[SakuraMayonaka]

i've read beyond the third book but the character still changed too much for me to enjoy it. i thought the ideas seemed a little ,well, not that good, especially the openings "hi, lestat here, you know who i am" seemed like i was reading a childs book so i really didn't like it. i only like the first book but as i said before this is my opinion, please respect it coz i repect other people opinions. and please, i don't want any arguments (not talking to you here) but thanks for replying^^

[Foreversilverblood]

i absolutely agree with you.

To me,it's like the essence of the first books (interview with a vampire,vampire Lestat) was disapearing with the expansion of the chronicles...

[SakuraMayonaka]

thank you for agreeing, most people don't see it as i see it so its nice to know other people noticed it and agree^^

[theriss13]

I have read the Vampire Chronicles, but I always seem to come back to The Vampire Lestat. My copy has been read so many times it's practically falling to bits! I'm not sure why that particular book struck a chord with me, but it has become essential reading and I like the way it's so easy to get lost in that special world you've created.

[hannibalsloat]

Anne, I was wondering if you knew Trent Reznor at all, and what he is like? I beleive he was a neighbour of yours. He's my favorite musician. Also, you're my favorite author, I adore every line you've put on paper. Christ the Lord has actually made my connection to God stronger. If that isn't an achievement I don't know what is. Happy Christmas and God Bless.

[arielmakesyoulol]

You're an absolutely beautiful person, Anne, and I love you immeasurably. Thank you for everything you've given me, which is really more than I can express to you in words, more gifts of and to the heart than simply books to me. Ever so much more! I will love you and support you forever, no matter what you choose to do with your gorgeous and unique talent.

The vampire chronicles alone will always hold a special place in my heart, but I respect your wish to move on. I'll move with you!

[deianj]

your works are astounding, i read all the vampire chronicles :) and i wish for more of your magic, blood and gold was one of my favorites :)

[princessjunecake]

This is a very touching speech and video, your books have inspired me in so many ways that I cannot describe. Most especially Blackwood Farm.

I agree with chandrew08/Andrew Liam Kelsey.

[pigstercub]

Wow, just hearing her read that passage gave me chills. Anne--your books, ALL your books, have given me more joy, more appreciation of beauty and spirituality, than almost anything else in this world. For that, I am, and always will be, a devoted fan.

[EllethVallen]

It's such a rare treat to hear a favorite author summarize what her works mean to her. The Chronicles are a series that cannot be read merely once. Read it the first time to see the progression of the story and the characters. The inevitable subsequent go-rounds should be spent reading between the lines. To paraphrase the beloved Lestat: What's wrong with being the best you that you can be?

[LadyArmand2]

I want to go to a Lestat Ball so bad!

[mistytheghostwhisper]

thank you miss rice you have wrote a very nice book series

[redcorpse]

I don't know why people are always saying that her decision to stop writing for vampires came as such a shock - from the very first time I picked up Interview I could see all the spiritual undertones in it and really CtL is a logical conclusion to all those other works. How can you listen to those words from Armand and not see it? How can you not see the same beauty and spirituality that was //always// there waiting for you to find it?

[annericesite]

redcorpse --- thanks. I see the books as all one journey to the light, and to Christ. That's why I treasure the vampire chronicles and have written an essay on them on my website. It's all one trip. I hope readers will begin to see it that way. Thanks for posting, Anne Rice.

[GarryBoulder]

you're a real buzzkill, you know that?

[chandrew08]

Anne.

What a gift you've given, both to me personally and to the world. My connection to your work is so magical and sacred, and I thank you for it eternally. I see the world now through my vampire eyes and it is even more beautiful than it was before.

Long Live Lestat!

~Andrew Liam Kelsey

[OpheliaIsolde]

Dear Mrs. Rice,

How can I ever tell you how much your writing means to me? My fiance and I are enamored of the beauty in your work. It is our one true love. I started reading your work at the age of 9, and I have been hopelessly addicted since. At times, you were even our only solace. When I look at you on video, I can't help feeling sorrow. You seem so disenchanted with the world. I wish I could give you the happiness (no, the restorative light) you have given us in your books.

Ayla Turner

[helyn15]

I miss Armand the most. Poor thing, no body ever talks about him. Anne, if you ever decide to write out one more Lestat book, put Armand in there somewhere.. Maybe kill all of them off so neither you nor your fans will have to worry about them.. Sad but true.

[KitsueMage]

Me too. :(

[Persephonie22]

I miss Armand too. =)~

[andrika1990]

What do you mean no ever talks about him? Why do you miss him? Where did he go? I mean he seems to be in all the stories I've read by her so far.

[GothickBlood]

When Anne Rice stopped writing the vampires chronicles...was just like waking up from a beautiful dream to fall in a horrible nightmare. This said,I love and I always will those books and I'll thank her forever for having written them. Thank you.

[ajkl27]

if her new faith gives her peace of mind then i have no right to speak ill her decisions, and if she's entirely happy that way I wish her all the best. I just really miss Lestat.

[F13sh34t3r]

(continuing off of what was last said) and i am happy that you do not let your fans define what you will right. for all i care it wouldn't matter if you never even speak of vampires because your fans, old and new, should appreciate what you already left behind. Keep writing what you want to because ,admit it or not, you are a fabulous writer and people should really appreciate what you have done.

[KarmicReaction]

1st let me say I love Anne Rice. I grew up reading her novels. I started with Interview & read all her work after that. I loved her vampire novels as well as the mummy, ghost, genie, & witch novels. She was the main reason I developed a love for literature & chose to become a writer. I understand she has moved on but I think it is sad that she has abandoned most of her readers. Many of her former readers miss her characters. Her new books are good but not a replacement for her older works.

[AnneRiceDotCom]

Please don't say that I've abandoned my older readers. I answer their emails every day, and I remain fascinated by the response to the vampire novels. There are something like ten of them. I feel that it's a good body of work, frankly, and moving on is what I have to do. But abandon them or the readers? Never. Anne.

[F13sh34t3r]

Ms. Rice, I have to say that i just started reading The Vampire Chronicles and i am quite infatuated with your writing style. Once i finish the series i am most likely going to read your newest book and no that this is only an evolution and that whatever everyone else is angry about is nonsensical. People do change with the times and many should learn that. i doubt you forgot anyone because not even Marius forgot Lestat during his reawakening.I'm glad that you care enough to respond to your fans

[KarmicReaction]

Dear Mrs. Rice,

Thanks so much for responding to my post here. I'm a huge fan of yours.... More than you can ever really know. I've read all of your novels not just the Chronicles. I've even read some of your earlier works under other names. I about fell out of my chair when I saw that you had posted a reply to my post. I've always wondered what it would be like to just sit and talk to you. I think you would be an amazing person to chat with. I love the way your mind works and you have (cont.)

[KarmicReaction]

influenced my writing. Let me try to explain better what I meant. I should have explained better, I apologize. What meant was that by not writing the Vampire Chronicles some of your fans my feel abandoned. Having made such a connection with your readers, I know you can never abandon them. I think I explained my feelings a bit better in my reply to your post to: From Anne Rice: a message to fans: May 2008. Thank you so much for reading and responding to these and other posts. Troy in Oklahoma

[divastar604]

@AnneRiceDotCom Love you Anne! You are an AMAZING writer. One of our best in world history! Kisses from Canada!

[taurus0666]

A woman full of love and passion, I admire her with all my soul!

[gothic666vampyre]

I love her. Even if she is writing Christian books. She's proven so much in this video.

She will return to the dark side. May not go back to writing Vampire books. But her stories, her characters will live with her forever. heheh. I cannot imagine going christian. I love being who I am. I wouldn't change it for anyone. ^_^

[jazeon2012]

Does anyone happen to know what brilliant piece of classical music appears at the beginning of this video clip?

[firelockantique]

Music: Vivaldi's Four Seasons. I agree with you- it's a brilliant piece. I don't know why but I felt really lonely after I'd watched this vid. It's such a shame that word's deprived of Lestat's beauty...

[cursedvamp6]

I wish you the best, and I plan to read any more of your books that you write Anne. I to once delved into a less beautiful world... But ironicly, it was the evil, darkness, pain and suffering that eventualy brought me back to the light. As much as I enjoyed reading about Lestat, and would like to read more, I understand that it was a phase. And may the next be better than the last : )

[bellchap]

I LOVE YOU ANNE RICE!!

[lestatluva]

shes gonna bring lestat back.its almost impossibal to cut him out.hes the whole reason y the cronicals r famouse.every 1 loves lestat.

[Lestatsangel]

I certainly hope so. *pouts* It's what she's good at it, and no matter what she says, she has turned her back on the past and her readers. At least that's what I feel.

Why can she not do both? Why can she not simply write her Christian novels and the Vampire Chronicles as well? I mean I know none of her old fans read her new works.

And why would they? They're absolutely different! I mean her Christian novels are something my grandparents would read! Her old novels were the best.

[Lioncourt1]

Lestat will always live on as a icon so to speak, and there are many fan fictions out there. In a way The idea of Lestat will live on almost as a saint. Similar to the way it was told in Blood Canticle of Saint Juan. Anyway I digress. It is good that Anne is gotten back to her beliefs and is not swayed by the world in her decision.

[lestatluva]

i dont think its right that anne rice iz canceling out lestat 4 good,he's an enspiering character who,not only helps us,but teaches us a lesson.lestat IZ dracula,cuz he has become our love,life,friend,and hero.what can 1 say but dracula iz dead...LONG MAY LESTAT LIVE!!!

[AnneRice41]

From Anne. I'm sorry but Lestat simply cannot come back. But that does not mean another Christian supernatural series won't be developed by me in the future, in addition to my life of Jesus Christ. This has been on my mind for some time, and C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkein both inspire.

[GHFFL1968]

Anne, ALL of your books have been inspiring, in different ways... your newest series inspires in a whole new way...YOU keep writing and we'll keep reading! We all have choices to make and paths to take, and you are doing what God wants you to, don't forget that!

[abacab1239]

Just FYI - Tolkien tried over and over to squash labels calling his work "Christian, or Christian fable or Sauron as Satan, or Gandalf is really Christ" or whatever. Although he and Lewis were colleagues and friends, and Lewis's tales were intentionally Jesus fables, Tolkien's were absolutely not. Tolkien scholars comments, welcome. BTW it still sucks to see Anne away from First Street where I suppose we all thought she would stay forever. Anne has a room of her own- Virginia is surely smiling.

[wenderoo64]

C.S Lewis, and Tolkein, were both great examples of Christian value and morals, written within an amazing fictional and fantasy framework.I was 10 when I sorted out that Aslan was a christ figure, creator and innocent sacrifice for good in Narnia. I was so happy when he was reserected.I loved those books.

[lestatluva]

:( :( :( :( :( :(.......ill im u later

[EmeraldElf]

Stop pretending to be Anne Rice.

I fricking hate it when people make YouTube accounts just to pretend to be celebrities!

Anne Rice makes YouTube blogs and appearances through her website, not this account. Its a fake.

[yaoidiva]

I beg to differ...

From Anne Rice's site, I quote:

"You are also invited to post comments in response to Anne's YouTube films at AnneRiceDotCom (Christian matters) and at annericesite (the earlier works) on YouTube."

[OctoberSaint]

We love you Anne

[OctoberSaint]

Awsome !! everyone looks great

[sexcndkrazi]

Ive read all ov her books and luved them all..

Memnoch the Devil and Vittorio were really gud...

Better then Stephen King..

[shadowsong92]

sooo would have been there had i known about it.

[SecrecySupreme]

I havnt read many of the anne rice books,which im annoyed about cause I really like them. I just never seemed to have gotten round to it. I have read "Interview with the Vampire", "The Vampire Lestat" and currently reading "Blood Canticle". Im shocked at how many of the books ive missed :p. Cant beleive she will stop writing about Lestat!!! Oh ma days. Btw, Ive got a Lestat MV *music video* up. just search my name. :D

Party on Anne! :D

[jjmd280]

According to Time magazine, after her next Jesus novel, she will continue, and conclude the Vampire novels - Lestat might be redeemed...

[aylinblack]

No. Latest news: that will not happen. See her website. She understands people want Lestat back... but she won't do it.

[jjmd280]

How disappointing is that!?! She is such a tease- but mark my words, as soon as she needs the money (if ever) Lestat will be back...

[lestatluva]

totaly agree

[rascklesriot]

anne rice CAN NOT PUT LESTAT AWAY!i refuse it!how can she?!I read all the vampire cronicals INCLUDING the new tales of the vampires.I may only be 11 years old but lestat is my hero!Mt idol!And its because of her im that way.I used to be normal,but bcause of her i now have somthing to look forward to!She cant do it,she just cant!Ms. rice dont get me wrong, but out of all the vampires you made, LESTAT IZ THA BEST!plese dont take him out dont!PLESE!dont do it not yetnow ever not now.Plese dont:(

[bobmarlymeister]

who would want to see lestat should go to netherlandas to the northen lands to the last city to be found the lost city of den helder the lands end and that of souls

[Tankgirl3185]

I am not religious but I can understand her reasoning for doing as she is doing. But it's a sad world without the Vampires and the Mayfair Witches in it. When you knew a Vampire Chronicle novel or a Mayfair Witch novel were coming out. It made everything else you were reading seem silly until Anne's new novel came out. It's sad really but I guess that's life.

[wenderoo64]

I for one would love to read about the total and final redemption of Lestat. I always felt it was coming. If you ever do write about this,it will be an exciting event.

[Tankgirl3185]

I can't believe that she is talking about finally putting Lestat away. I respect her for her work on the Jesus series. But I can't say I'm not disappointed for no more Vampire Chronicles or Mayfair Witches.

[lxlcerblxl]

I love Marius and Pandora

They make me so happy

<3 Layla

[Jarizono]

Marius is definitely the most admiral vampire of them all, one you would look to as a teacher. I'm currently reading the vampire lestat in french. Ive read them all in english, now that I'm getting bored of the language, I thought it would be more appropriate to read it in french.

[ByteSmasher]

My only wish is that Anne resells the rights to The Vampire Lestat and Queen of the Damned to a movie studio that will actually do them justice. IMO, that last QOTD attempt was an nothing more than an insult to Anne, and to all of her fans. Straying from a piece of literature so much in a movie is simply disrespectful, and it only goes to reinforce that Hollywood is as shallow and greedy as ever.

[AlienDragon]

I agree, if done right, The Vampire Lestat would be a very very beautiful movie, full of awesome lighting effects and stunning matte paintings to show the sensory experience emphasized throughout the novel. Aside the visual effects, the characterization gives lots of opportunity. And the horror elements throughout are excellent for a movie. It would be a feast for the screen writer, the director, art directors, costume designers, and of course, the fans.

[BusyInHell]

oh goodness, no kiddin!!!!!!! the movie is all right...IF someone can wrap it around their head, that is NOTHING to do with the book and only happens to use the same character names.

otherwise, it's a horrible mish mash.

but aaliyah did a great job as akasha.

[BusyInHell]

[abacab1239]

I was fortunate enough to visit the house on First Street over a decade ago while Anne and her family still lived there. Our small group shuffled through her two front rooms her dining room. Seeing the pool and The Oak. I was so sad to learn she had sold that home. It's difficult to watch Anne now - away from New Orleans it just seems unnatural that she is not getting old in a rocker on the front porch on First Street. Change sucks.

[franlakala]

That's a really beautiful notion, Anne as a old woman on the porch. I can really imagine that. I went by her house in 2000, unfortunently before reading her witch-books. But still, I feel so at home when reading her novels that take place in New Orleans. Too bad she has turned away from vampires, whough you never know with her and her flings...

[ReignWaterBurns]

That was... fairly depressing. :-(

[Vamps17]

Man, I hope to attend this one day! I love the Vampire Chronicles, it was the first book series I truly enjoyed. Anne Rice is such a great writer.

[Crankgorilla]

God is mankinds way of rationalising death...

[wenderoo64]

I think that Anne, as well as other bright people, were able to rationalize death even before we made a choice to accept Jesus

[ashlar1965]

That last comment was so rude. If I was a vampire I would come after you. On a higher note, it is so wonderful to listen to Anne read from her own work. I would love to have a unabridged recording of her reading Interview with the Vampire or Memnoch the Devil, two of my favorites. It is so obvious that Anne has been moving towards her Christ books for years. How wildly brave of her to now write in firt person in the voice of God, himself. You are one of a kind, Anne. I love you!

[thirdperson12345]

I would love to meet Anne. She seems like such a beautiful person, someone I would not only want to be a friend to but someone I would want to be like. True to herself and her work, always.

Thank you my dear, for so much more than Lestat.

Amelia.

[valens6]

I don't find Rice's conversion that surprising. In her works for years her inner debate was quite clear in her writing. In Memnoch, Lestats battle with God and acceptance was such a mirror of her own. All joy to you Anne, for the many years joy you have given me. And looking forward to the new Christ novel.

x

[brycecakes]

Never in my life have i heard a more heart felt and truly honest wish. I am proud to say that my life has been changed twice by Anne. First at a book signing in Las Vegas a few years ago, and today after hearing her speak. From darkness into light, my heart now beats, within the darkness I have found life, and once again... I thank you Anne for you love for life and God.

[ukchiller]

You know its a bit selfish to expect Anne to carry on writing just for you. She's being true to herself and really thats all we can hope for. Try the new books, you might even like them!

[ThanatosofDeath]

Anne Rice is just.... Damn it why did she abandon Vampires? I am Catholic and I enjoy, nay LOVE her books. She just.... Gah!

Stan just really affected her.....

I still hate this!

[AnneRice41]

Dear One, I turned away from the Chronicles before Stan died. His death had nothing to do with my return to the Catholic church or my consecration to Christ. If Lestat ever returns it will be in a redemptive frame work, in a novel I outlined in 1998 but never wrote. A diabetic coma killed that book. thanks for your feedback, Anne

[Poetrychic222]

Gosh, i miss her old vampire novels. If only he husband didn't die, she may of continued on with vampires...

[therainbowbitch]

i love anne rice and all her characters!!!!

[tasuki199]

I just want to embrace that woman i a tightly loved hug. She seem so sad since Stan's passing, God rest his soul. I hope Anne has found happiness and will someday feel joy instead of sorrow when she thinks of her beloved characters.

[AnneRice41]

Dear One, I don't feel sorrow at all when I think of my beloved vampires. All the books are part of one long journey to the light. A current of sadness runs through all my work from Interview through the most recent books on Jesus Christ. Rather inevitable. I thank you for your warm response. Anne.

[HMoreno5]

I miss Anne's earlier books. No one pushed the boundaries of the vampire mythos like she did. The Mayfair family was a fascinating saga as well.

Maybe one day she'll give us another book in either of those two worlds. Until then, we can only hope...

[JJoompa]

Hmm....

[larriveeom2]

Thanks for this video.

I for one miss Lestat and all

Annes' vampire characters.
