Well, I have heard that Anne Rice will not be writing anymore supposed *dark* novels in the near future. She is going to begin to write books on chritianity and the like. She states she started writing vampiric books becaus she wanted to see what it all was about and how people felt, she hopes to accomplish the same thing with her new work topic. I heard this from my brother so i know not if it is fact or fiction. Has anyone heard of this besides me? If so what are you thoughts on it? Do you believe they will be as big a hit as her previous work?
I hope that's not true, and if it is, than it's a crying shame.... She is one of the most talented writers of our time. I enjoy her dark writting style very much.
yeah, it'd be a damn shame if anne changed her ways. she writes some of the best vamp.books,ever.
(Anne Rice: great stories, NOT good writing..NO offense..)
yes, she won't be writing anymore...she mailed me..LOL!
a LOng time ago, she gave out her e-mail add and everyone mailed her..dunno if it was her..BUT the message said, she's NO longer writing those things..vampiric stuff..
Anne rice said that the vampire as a hero, takes us back to primitive times when we worshipped dark and light gods. And it's a powerful metaphor for the outcast and monster in us all.
=)
Unfortunatly your querry is based on fact.
Ms. Rice will no longer be penning any of her famed Vampire novels.
Tis a shame... but she's left us with so much to dream on, hasn't she?
Yes I believe she has left us will alot. I loved her stories. I was saddened when i heard the news...
I had no heard that Anne wasn't going to write anymore "dark novels" It is a shame if it is really true though...i like many of her books
Let me just say that I read the article and the letter that she wrote, yes it is true that she is going to be writing a book and it will be in the format of her writing as Jesus. Much like Lestat wrote as himself. This should come as no shock to all of you, because if you read all her vampire books you would all already know that she has always been a firm believer in God. She is a great writer, always has and always will be, no matter what she writes. It however did not say there would be no more vampire books, only that she is going to write a different kind of book, which she has done before, with her romance novels and the witch novels.
Anne Rice is a great writer. I hate that she is going to leave all this and start something new.
I remember when her husband died, she said that she is gonna write one more vamp novel and that’s than.. so I don't what she is gonna do.. I'll miss her work that's for sure..
i hope she does not stop writing becuase her work is amazing... it would really suck to not have a writer like her... around
Mabye if she puts her dark twist on it, mabye it will become a book worth reading.
This a lil bizzare ... Anne has writen some kinky stuff and its a big change for her. Wish her luck and I am sure there is an audience for her new direction, sadly it will not be me. Witching Hour and the Vamp books rocked!
~Lady~
I have always loved Anne Rice's work, her books, whether they are vampiric, witches, choir boys, mummy's, and so forth. I do not consider her books to be dark but what is out there and what it true.
She had left us with so many different tales and stories. So many ideas bursting of our own.
Be that she is who she is I am not into the religion as she is. Yet I desire for her to do what she pleases. What she writes I will read!
this just means that all of her "vamp" books are even more worth keeping around.
i hope everyone has her books, cause you know now that the prices will go up now. and if you have an autograghed copy,DO NOT SELL IT!!! lol
Has anyone read her erotica? It is written under the pen name of ann rampling. Very nice stuff.. there is a series of beauty books... the vampire thing is done.. how much can she write.. the last few books have been laborious to read-far far away from the brillance of interview or lestat. If she is onto a new path in her life, so be it...
i have read all of her books and my fav is the servent of the bones
she has not chaged her writing style she is just coming out with a new book that is about jesus as told from his eyes.
how so? have you read her other book, it's not a shock to me. she has always had a strong religous message in her books and she does not go along with the normal way of thinking about. her own little twist on how she feels about things.
Or we could allways start a Petition, there are 1996 people here, not to Mention Freinds and stuff...
to make her Write more Dark gothic vampire Kick ass ish ness
and She better not start talking about Christ and stuff.... cause then id have to make her # 6
Ok wait a minute ... not to be a downer here .. but start a petition .. write her .. move her down on lists .. yada yada yada .. what's all this .. the woman is a writer .. many writers write about many different things .. and as much as we as fans enjoy them, who are we to tell them what they can or can't write .. instead of forming an automatic opinnion before a writer even publishes their new book, why not give them a chance .. that is what a TRUE FAN would do .. save judgement about how or what it will be like until you read it ... then give your opinnions .. but I'm guessing that many others have already formed their opninnions and when her next book does come out ... people will bomb it from the get go, because it's not her "normal" topic.... ok I'm done ... that will be one dollar and fifty cents please ... >;^}
the only think is, she has said that more than a few times over the past 20 years
she never even said that she wasn't going to write more she is just doing a book that is not in her normal style but she has done that before anyway.
