She is the author of over 30 books, most recently the Toby O'Dare novels Of Love and Evil, and Angel Time; the memoir, Called Out of Darkness;and her two novels about Jesus, Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt and Christ the Lord: The Road to Cana,

Anne publicly broke with organized religion in July of 2010 on moral grounds, affirming her faith in God, but refusing any longer to be called "Christian." The story attracted surprising media attention, with Rice's remarks being quoted in stories all over the world.

Her latest novel, The Wolf Gift, a werewolf story set in Northern California in the present time, will be published on February 14th, 2012. With this book, Anne returns to the classic monsters and themes of supernatural literature, similar to those she explored in her Vampire Chronicles, and tales of the Mayfair Witches.

Her first novel, Interview with the Vampire, was published in 1976 and has gone on to become one of the best-selling novels of all time. She continued her saga of the Vampire Lestat in a series of books, collectively known as The Vampire Chronicles, which have had both great mainstream and cult followings.

Interview with the Vampire was made into a motion picture in 1994, starring Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Kirsten Dunst and Antonio Banderas. Anne's novel, Feast of All Saints about the free people of color of ante-bellum New Orleans became a Showtime mini series in 2001.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good translation!, October 11, 2000

This review is from: Entretien Avec UN Vampire/Interview With the Vampire (Mass Market Paperback)

This book, and the rest of the books that have to date been translated into French in the vampire series up to Tale of the Body Thief, are good translations. Be warned, however, that if you are using this book to help bolster your French, that the translator did take certain liberties, and sometimes things don't quite match up to the original English version. If you are using this book to help your French, I'd recommend you pass Entretien avec un vampire up, and instead purchase Lestat le vampire, if you can find it: the translation with Lestat seemed more consistent. If you're reading Entretien for pleasure, it's good as it is, and stands on its own.

5.0 out of 5 stars Le Meilleur, September 30, 2000

This review is from: Entretien Avec UN Vampire/Interview With the Vampire (Mass Market Paperback)

Je choisis ce livre-ce parce que je le connus en anglais. (Je parle tres peu francais.) Cette traduction garde la atmosphere du original, une atmosphere a la fois voluptueuse et tragique. Louis est un personnage plus complexe et interessant que the autres vampires de Anne Rice. Il pense plus et voit plus que Lestat. Il souffre comme nous souffrons et par consequent on peut l'aime. Quand il dit >> Je suis destine a vivre jusqu'a la fin du monde, et je ne sais pas ce que je suis! << one sent le chagrin et la horreur de sa vie. Ce livre-ce vous hantera.
