Anne Rice's books have always made me think about the true joys in life and what to relish while you can. We're not immortal vampires who can study and travel for generations upon generations; we're mortal and subject to die at any given time. I think with this new year and this new book from her, it'll broaden my view on the world and how life evolves through time. It's not always necessarily better for everyone but it's how you let it affect yourself that matters. Thank you Anne Rice.

Anne's books made me think more on the human condition starting in the 1990's than I thought before.

I agree with Vicki that IWTV was way ahead of its time. I just reread it a month ago and I understood it so much better now than I did when I first read it in high school.

I love Anne Rice so much, and am a person of the page. She does love discussion, and it's very nice. I asked her one time "What would you do if you were sitting in a cafe in New Orleans at around 1am having a drink. A person came up to you, and it was an actual vampire?" She told me "A vampire would never be that stupid". Well what was Interview? ummm a vampire revealed himself so I don't understand why she would tell me "A vampire would never be that stupid".

an experience while reading it. yes. I found it soupy and too thick and too gothICK. but my LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE for Vampires kept me going forward and when they found the dead vampires in the old world, I liked that a Lot. The Witching Hour is the Ann Rice book that gave me my Experience. . . literally a birthday gift that i will always cherish, thanks Lisa.

what does she mean by movie notifications? what does that mean really? i dont understand what it takes to make a movie does anyone have a link or something or some type of explanation? because i know she had a hand in the first movie and they shut her out of Queen i just wanna know more about what this hollowood stuff means

[@LaviniaDeMortalium]

If you're asking about what I think you are, Anne's interaction with the movie's depents entirely on the director. The author has no right to dabble with the movie, but if a director and the group working on the movie are smart, they'll include the author.Like you said, they didn't include her on QOTD and we all see how that went...

[@armondpb]

Oh i had no idea becuase I know people like J.K Rowling and Steven King never really had a problem?

[@LaviniaDeMortalium]

I'm not sure about those people. But what what I've witnessed and gathered over the years is that the author is rarely included. With is asinine, really, given that these people know their characters better than anyone else. I hope any future projects involving Anne's work include her. They'd been fools not to.

Armond Nero When a studio wants to do a movie, and it's the same for a writer, or a person who just writes a script. They will contact the person who is either the publisher, or rep for the person who holds the rights to the work, and options it. They work out a contract for the rights to make a movie. What happen with Anne rice, and Queen of the dammed is the studio got the rights to all of the vampire chronicles. When optioning for the rights normally the contract is set to where the author has no say so in what the studio does with the story. This is why if you are hard core about a book you will not like the movie. Sometimes the author takes less money, and asks for some insight into the movie, and it is up to the studio if they want their hand in the cookie jar as it were. With Queen of the damned, and the studio had control over all the vampire books so they could do what they wanted to with the movies, and you saw what came of that. In the end you have a separation of readers, and non readers. A studio can't make a movie that is 100% by the authors book because only the readers would like it, or come to see it. So they have to change a lot of things so that the lay person who hasn't read the books will understand, and like it. So don't ever go to a movie adaptation of a book expecting it to be by the book because it won't, and don't hate the people who make it because they are trying to make money with a movie. I hope this helps.

[@jhamler1]

Anne Rice is quite the florid writer, no? Am I wrong? I read the first one and I liked it, but.. It WAS a bit overwhelming. Then I tried the one where Lestat is a body-switcher or something and I couldn't hack it. The writing was too damned romantic for my taste. Maybe I'm just an asshole. I dunno.

I hate to say it but the thumbnail really made me think Vicky was a man in a powdered wig
