Lestat lives!

When former prolific goth writer Anne Rice found the Lord after twenty plus years of atheism, she swore off vampires and witches and anything involving an excessive amount of leather or the sucking of human blood presumably forever. She expressly stated having only a desire to write about Jesus. However, in a recent interview with Time magazine, she essentially says “fuck that” to that promise. She apparently has one more Vampire Chronicle in her in which she resurrects her most famous character of all – the rock star, near-deity Lestat. In her own words: “When I published my first book about the Lord I said I would never write about those characters again. But I have one more book that I would really like to write. It will be a story that I need to tell.” She justifies her decision by saying she’ll incorporate strong religious themes into the narrative (So Lestat finds Jesus? Like literally?). Either way, good news for Rice’s Vampire Chronicles fans. Read the rest of what she had to say over HERE.
