Anne Rice has a new book that came out today. i'm a little irritated that i didn't know it was coming so now i have to run out and get it while i'm already trying to read both Grimm's fairy tales and the Chronicles of Narnia. in any case, interesting choice of date for her, especially given the subject matter.
she is done with vampires and is now writing about Jesus. this one is about Jesus as a kid. more to follow. i saw an interview this morning on the Today Show and she's had some rediscovery of the Catholic church and is planning on sticking closely with the Gospels. none of the exploring with the relationship with Mary Magdalene for her.
i think there will be many that will be turned off by her change. for me, though, it will probably work. i get her thing with Catholicism and i get her thing with vampires. i get where it all ties together and progresses one into the other. and i also really, really, really liked Memnoch the Devil where she put the two together in one book.
still, i'm going to miss the vampires.
