I've read a book about zombie jesus, it's called the holy bible.

[AnneRiceDotCom]

Lestat has the life of a created character and may it be a very long one, but I'll never write about him again. I have moved on, and can't. I have to tell all I know in a book, and that is what I always did, and will always do. Lestat has his life out there, and I still love him and what he meant to me in the dark years. He was my aching soul in those days.

@bondurango How do you know that? And I don't think there will be a 'final' addition to the Vampire Chronicles, Anne has said this many times. Yet, I can't fully comprehend that especially when within this video she says she wants to write another book with Lestat.

[bondurango]

With her latest about face on religion, Anne's last novel is going to be about Lestat going back in time where he is incarnated as Joseph of Arimathea so he can capture the blood of Christ in the Holy Grail as Jesus dies on the cross . But when he drinks the blood, the immortal Lestat turns back into a mortal human being, once again. But, it doesn't end there.

When she wrote Interview with a vampire,she couldn't have known,how big it was going to be.So even if she only continued writing the Chronicles because of money( what I personally don't believe)It still can't be the reason why she started writing about Vampires in the first place,could it?If I remember correctly( and you can correct me,if I'm wrong):when her first book came out,Vampires weren't that much of a big deal.Anyway:I loved the chronicles and Im greatful that she wrote it

[gottbutter]

so she`s back to a religion that tells you witches are real, deamons are real but she states that she doesn`t believe in that. and the god of this cult also condemns gays to eternal damnation but her son is gay and she`s totally fine with that and has personally nothing against them.

as much as i liked the chronicles, the witches, azrael and the mummy and even violin, but i think she went nuts

[bryngOneOn]

i dont believe her, saying she wrote vampire novels to convey some deep human condition and the search for God, she's cash cowed on the first book, her books on other subjects under another name did not sell well, also theres spirits mentioned in queen of the dammed and u dont believe in spirits and not God, she is a good story teller, sometimes when not rehashing, but at best she is a pulp novelist, nothing wrong with that, shes read too much fan mail me thinks

[Dank951]

The Twilight Saga is alright, nothing too obsess about. But Anne Rice's "Vampire Chronicles" are deeper and well worth the money for the ten books. She actually uses vampire mythology in her stories and the stories within them are intense.

[shadowofgeif]

Ray Bradbury and Anne Rice are my two favorite authors, Stephany Myer doesn't begin to compare to those two as far as philosaphy and mere literary talent. Even in romance Rice has Myer beat hands down. If you don't think so read Tale of the Body Thief

[iluvmusic22mx]

Anne is a wonderful writer, i like her vampire stories better than Stephenie Meyer's because i think Anne stories are deeper, more philosophical;and the Twilight saga is more about teenage love.

Both are good,but Anne is my favorite writer!!

what a lovely woman..you go Anne!

[arjay2002ph]

I like Anne Rice better than Stephenie Meyer. Her stories make more sense. Probably because i'm a grown up already and could care less with teenage fantasy stories. Their both good story writers though.
