 Coolness: 75340 | I always hated Anne Rice... "Interview" was palatable.. but I've never gotten past the first dozen or so pages of any of her other stuff... blargh... |

 Coolness: 92335 | Anne Rice is amazing. I wish she'd continue the vampire chronicles. I never much liked the love of christianity she'd give some of her characters. Her love of the church always shone through somewhere but yet, she has very unconventional ideas about it, if anyone's read Memnoch the Devil. That was a very good book yet almost the whoel thign was the story of satan.. but it was interestign none the less, it had a twist and made you think. Anne is good at making people feel and putting ideas and pictures into their heads that just stick there forever and ever. That's a good writer to me. I could never forget any of her books. I hate a book I can forget. I will probably read it even though it's crappy religious jargon.. I know it will read like a well-written saga. |

| Coolness: 75340 | A friend of mine who is a fan said the same thing, she wants to read the book just to see how Anne pulls of actually personifying Satan. I don't know... maybe I never gave her a real chance... I have very strange likes and dislikes when it comes to fiction dealing with supernaturals. Some things just rub me the wrong way. For instance, it was always a pet-peeve of mine that Anne Rice's vampires needed to sleep in coffins... never made sense to me. Yes, they are dead, but why is a coffin neccesary? Oh... of course... Lestat didn't need a coffin to survive over a hundred years in a swamp... I guess I'm just a stickler for things like that... I must say though, "Interview" was one of my favorite vampire flicks of all time. |

| Coolness: 92335 | I hated that movie cause I read the book. I saw it when I was way younger though, and really liked it but then I forgot the whole thign, read the book, and watched the movie again and it was an absolute disgrace, like most movies based on books, it is not even accurate to the story, only in the most essential ways.. and soooo much is missing, you know.. but it's not as big of a disgrace as Queen of the Damned.. they broke every single motherfucking rule of the vampires traits AND story in that one! Anyways though, she's definitely not a writer for everyone, I'll give you that. You have to be down with her whole sensuality/beauty everywhere vibe. A lot of guys are disturbed by the seemingly gay behaviour of the characters sometimes as well. The vampires are basically in love with everything so it has that effect sometimes. Lestat even sucks bloody pussy in one of them. |

| Coolness: 75340 | I liked the movie and the book, but I also view them as seperate. The movie was a good vampire movie, and the book was a good vampire book. If you gotta know, my taste for vampires is related to the WhiteWolf games, and if you haven't, some of the fiction associated with the setting is amazing (some of it is trite bullshit too of course). I like the tragic anti-hero Vampire, clinging to his/her humanity or reveling in a debaucherous unlife to try and beat the pain of his/her damnation. And I always thought of vampires as somewhat bi-sexual... very sensual always, but their attraction to another person would have very little to do gender. And yeah, I didn't read QotD, but I booed the movie. I went with someone who read the book and he said "It was like the writer was reading the book, saying to himself 'this is good stuff' and then suddenly be told to write the script, even though he was only about 50 pages in. So he just jumps to the last chapter, skims over it, and writes the screenplay." Horrible movie. |

| Coolness: 685660 | As for Anne Rice stuff, I tried reading all the diffrent vampire chronicles, and I think the furthest I ever made it into one of them was 200 pages into Queen of the Damned before I got bored. I don't think I ever made it past page 20 in any of the others. Completely not a writing style I like.
Oddly enough, the movies are what I really like. I'll buy Tom Cruise and Brad Pit as vampires if the movie is well done, and it was, which surprised me considering how uninterested I was in the book. I'm also probably one of the few people who prefers Queen of the Damned, simply because I've always wanted to be a vampire rockstar since I was about 15 :lol |

Brite does. My favorite vampire book is her first one, Lost Souls, and it's almost like bisexual-leaning-to-gay vampire erotica, but the characters are amazingly well written, they really come out of the book and establish themselves crystal-clear in your mind, plus the story is actually really good (if a little twisted; vampires are another species of human, and still have to have sex to reproduce, but only with humans. The main character is an orphaned vampire who runs away from home and wants to find out who his real family is, and he ends up falling in love with his father) |

| Coolness: 75340 | My favorite vampire book is "Pommegranates Full and Fine"... Vampires, Fairies, Mages... all getting up in eachothers business in Montreal... amazing |

| Coolness: 92335 | That whole sensual vampire thing though, was adopted from Anne Rice's vampires. Before Anne Rice came along vampires were pure Dracula, but somehow she managed to create an entire sub-culture and completely reformed the mainstream view of a mythical creature. Those are some hella-big influences there. She's been almost as influential as the necronomicon. |
