Yes, yes. I know this topic has been run over a billion times but...

My english teacher from 9th grade gave me a whole box of Anne Rice books as a gift. I Open up Queen of The Damned, because I hade yet to of read that one.

When I open the cover guess what I see????!!!

Her signature. Anne Rice fucking signed this book!!!!!!!!!!!!

*Screams like a fangirl

SO this made me happy thought I would share..

P.s. Im almost finished with Queen Of The Damned and you know what... I think the Queen is a giant Biatch... I dislike her in every way...

To me that would be like if Bill O'Reilly gave me his signature.

Beneath the Shadows · 04-16-2008, 04:01 PM

I'd be happy with Bill O'Reilly's signature. I could probably get a few bucks for it on eBay.

You know what, good on you for getting a little something from one of your favorite authors.

Funny thing, that. Autographs aren't all that to me. Now being able to HUG people I look up to is different I think.

He lives in my hometown.

Well, then, you could steal his underwear and sell that on eBay, and get a couple dollars more than me.

Too bad Anne Rice sucks now, and basically just rewrites the bible.

a bit of exaggeration.

The only good book Anne Rice ever wrote--at least in my opinion--was Interview with a Vampire. After that, her work with Lestat just became another cheap erotica series you could easily pick up for a dime at your local supermarket, or dollar store. It was beyond disappointing.

I really do not like Anne Rice.

She has this wierd obsession with describing nipples. I don't know wether i'm reading a book on biology written by a sexual deviant or a book about vampires written by a failed erotic novelist.

TopHaggardDoll · 04-19-2008, 11:57 PM

Dammit! I'm right!

To prove i'm not being ridiculous...I found this quote, in about 2-3 minutes....

"her nipples standing in raisinlike points"

*claps* She truly is a genius...

Or perhaps she's got a nipple fetish? Interview with the Vampire was an entertaining read, but it wasn't that spectacularly written like Dracula nor was it very unique. A vampire novel for the masses, it seems like.

Well, I'm inclined to agree with you on most aspects. One thing I really appreciate that she explored in it was the boringness one would experience if they lived forever. Overall though, the book was kind of irritatingly written. I mean, with almost every paragraph being dialog, I figured I would get used to it, but I really didn't. I feel that it was better than most modern horror novels, but only by a little bit.

Stephen King, Poppy Z Brite, H.P Lovecraft and Thomas Harris have written some truly epic horror stories. Anne Rice has a much poorer body of work, I feel.

I agree with TopHaggardDoll.

Also, for a better vampire read, there's a collection called "Three Vampire Tales," anthologized by Anne Williams. It contains Bram Stoker's "Dracula," Sheridan Le Fanu's "Carmilla," (one of my favorites) and John Polidori's "The Vampyre," as well as vampire-related poetry from Byron, a filmography of various vampire films, and other content.
