“I remained an extremely conservative, well-controlled woman who refused to be intimate with anyone until she found the person with whom she wanted to spend her life. I’ve never been with any other man.”
Anne Rice, author of the very sexual Interview with the Vampire novels, about her husband of 41 years, Stan Rice, who passed away in 2002. Anne also wrote several pornographic novels under a pseudonym.
Oh, Anne. They don’t make ’em like you anymore.
She’s still a horrendous writer. I don’t care what anyone says.
Yeah, go Anne Rice, but literally, like, far far away, because damn, the phrase “batshit crazy” was made for her. Anyone remember when she snapped out on Amazon.com? Or just recalled exactly how many “Vampire Chronicles” books she pumped out, each making significantly more sense than the last, while she tried desperately to stay relevant? Anyone?
Well, hell. *looks up* That’s supposed to say “less”, not “more”. It’s like I tried to insult her for being a good writer! HA HA HA!
Her Sleeping Beauty series was awesome…some very twisted stuff.
Is her head a little big or what???
And, BTW, good for him?
A professional in the bedroom is far better than a rookie!
I have a friend who writes for a gay newspaper, and he got an interview with Anne a couple of years ago. I transcribed it for him, so I had to listen to the entire interview. She is such a douchebag! She just sits there and talks and talks but she never really says anything wothwhile or important. I sat there listening to it mostly like WTF? She doesn’t know her ass from a hole in the ground and her books aren’t that great.
She’s so untalented.
Everything she wrote is worthless except the first vampire book, Interview, which is not all that bad. When I first read it, as an impressionable teen, I thought it was pure genius. Now I realize that it’s not, but still, not that bad.
I remember, right after I finished it, I was eager for more Anne Rice, so when I came upon a collection of 3 Sleeping Beauty books (at Wal Mart, no less), I picked them up instantly, and it was only when I got home that I realized they were porn. That was actually my first taste of porn.
Well, I loved her… up until she turned into a Jesus freak. Then I was like no thanks… Memnoch the Devil is, in my opinion, her best novel, and it’s an AWESOME book!!! She writes her characters so vividly. I remember just daydreaming about what they’d look like if I saw them walking down the street. She’s very descriptive and elaborate.
To clarify, Anne Rice wrote Erotica under another name – not pornography – there is a huge difference between the two. She is an amazing author and does not write pornography.
and I LOVE YOUR SITE! PEREZ HILTON IS MORON WHO JUST LIKES TO PISS PEOPLE OFF.
YOU TOTALLY ROCK!!
Susie, have you read the Sleeping Beauty stuff? It’s not erotica, it’s porn. It’s very, very explicit. Also, I know those books were originally published under an alias, but my copies say “Anne Rice” on the cover, not A.N. Roquelaure.
she also wrote erotica – not pornography, but I guess it depends on your interpretation – under the name of Anne Rampling – Belinda and Exit to Eden. The Sleeping Beauty series are fantastic, if only to prove some peoples tastes are a tad extreme!
She has written some great books – the Witching Hour being her finest I think, but some of her novels are dreadful.
omg the witching hour! that was awesome, the next 2 “jumped the shark” though. . .
Hey, now. She’s not completely untalented, douches. She’s pretty untalented NOW, but whoever said the only good thing she wrote was “Interview with the Vampire” needs to go read The Mayfair Chronicles. Anne Rice used to be awesome, before she was all “Praise Jesus” and “let’s throw as many characters from the Mayfair Chronicles and the Vampire Chronicles into books that are about nothing but my own insanity OH LAWD”.
A conservative who writes erotica – interesting. All of her books are rather sexual, not necessarily explicitly, but it’s there and she seems fascinated with incest. Loved the Mayfair Chronicles esp The Witching Hour, (what an f’ed up family tree!) but I agree w/Joan the rest “jumped the shark” a bit, but hey it’s fiction innit? “Interview” is a classic and I loved “Queen of the Damned” – so many stories in one, despite the horrible film adaptations. You just can’t make her books into a movie, it’s gotta be a miniseries if anything. Her love for N. Orleans is a tanglible thing though and encouraged me to visit the city (pre-Katrina).
what must her nose have looked like BEFORE????
