Anne Rice redefined the vampire over thirty years ago with Interview with the Vampire, bringing a sensuous and existential approach to the moribund genre. Shaped by personal tragedies, critical successes and failures, and a fervent rediscovery of her Catholic roots, Rice has penned over 27 novels on subjects ranging from the supernatural and historical tomes to erotica and religious themes.
