Well, it seems that no one's made a topic about her work yet, so I thought I'd start one...
http://www.annerice.comAnne Rice is a very accomplished American author; she writes mainly vampire novels, hence I love them
I've read
Interview with the Vampire and
The Vampire Lestat, and I'm now on to
Queen of the Damned. Though I don't agree with some of Anne's politics and some of the borderline sensual-erotic stuff that she puts into her work, the main storyline and the vampires et al are all worth it.
Interview with the Vampire and Queen of the Damned have also both been made into movies. I've seen Interview, and I'll probably see Queen of the Damned after I finish the book.
Just some random info, I think that both Vanessa and Amy Lee have said in interviews that they like Anne Rice books.
