An Evening with Anne Rice

There are other bestselling authors, but few can legitimately claim that they reinvented a literary genre. By blending the supernatural with the gothic, Anne Rice’s first novel, Interview with the Vampire, did just that. The Vampire Chronicles created both a cult following and great mainstream success. Rice is the author of over thirty books, ranging in topics and genres from religion to erotica. Collectively, her books have sold nearly 100 million copies, making her one of the most widely read authors in modern history. In her latest novel, Prince Lestat: The Vampire Chronicles, Rice once again summons up the irresistible spirit-world of the undead, including the dazzling, dangerous rebel-outlaw — the great hope of the undead — Prince Lestat.
