Rest In Peace, Anne Rice
Dec. 12th, 2021 10:29 amAnne Rice passed away last night, at the age of 80, as a result of complications from a stroke. May she rest in peace.
She will be forever known as the author who wrote the entirety of The Vampire Chronicles*. I never got around to reading those, though did stumble across several fanfic crossovers with Highlander: The Series back in the late 90’s/early 2000’s. (And still recall various author’s notes begging her not to come after them given how she disliked fanfic at that point in time.)
At some point soon, I think I need to rectify that omission, and at least read Interview With The Vampire. I did watch and enjoy Interview with the Vampire (1994), though that was primarily as a result of the performances of Kirsten Dunst and Tom Cruise. I recently heard the novel was going to be adapted into a tv series on AMC, though I don’t have cable.
*There are more books in that series than I realized!
