More Controversial than a Vampire...
Vampire novelist Anne Rice is about to find out what it's like to have a really controversial Hero in her novels. Newsweek explains:
It seems that Rice has returned to the Catholic Church. Her conversion grew out of a series of personal trials, including the death of her husband. "I promised," she told Newsweek, "that from now on I would write only for the Lord."
Welcome home, Ms. Rice. But are you prepared for the criticism you will face from a secular culture that can accept the supernatural better in novels about ghouls than in belief in Christ?
"For the last six months," she says, "people have been sending e-mails saying, 'What are you doing next?' And I've told them, 'You may not want what I'm doing next'." We'll know soon. In two weeks, Anne Rice, the chronicler of vampires, witches and—under the pseudonym A. N. Roquelaure—of soft-core S&M encounters, will publish 'Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt,' a novel about the 7-year-old Jesus, narrated by Christ himself.
