This is Anne’s son Christopher and it breaks my heart to inform you that earlier tonight Anne passed away due to complications resulting from a stroke. Below is the statement I shared on her Facebook page moments ago.

Dearest People of Page. This is Anne’s son Christopher and it breaks my heart to bring you this sad news. Earlier tonight, Anne passed away due to complications resulting from a stroke. She left us almost nineteen years to the day my father, her husband Stan, died. The immensity of our family’s grief cannot be overstated.

As my mother, her support for me was unconditional — she taught me to embrace my dreams, reject conformity and challenge the dark voices of fear and self-doubt. As a writer, she taught me to defy genre boundaries and surrender to my obsessive passions.

In her final hours, I sat beside her hospital bed in awe of her accomplishments and her courage, awash in memories of a life that took us from the fog laced hills of the San Francisco Bay Area to the magical streets of New Orleans to the twinkling vistas of Southern California. As she kissed Anne goodbye, her younger sister Karen said, "What a ride you took us on, kid." I think we can all agree.

Let us take comfort in the shared hope that Anne is now experiencing firsthand the glorious answers to many great spiritual and cosmic questions, the quest for which defined her life and career. Throughout much of her final years, your contributions to this page brought her much joy, along with a profound sense of friendship and community.

Anne will be interred in our family's mausoleum at Metairie Cemetery in New Orleans in a private ceremony. Next year, a celebration of her life will take place in New Orleans. This event will be open to the public and will invite the participation of her friends, readers and fans who brought her such joy and inspiration throughout her life.

Did you and your mother ever engage in incestuous love making? She’s dead now so she won’t mind you telling us. I know must authors are into incest and from what I’ve read about her I bet she really took care of you growing up. Tell us some stories. We all want to read them.

I liked Interview with a Vampire
The series later got drab, and she had some absolutely degenerate works, but I was interested in the redemption she had planned for it. This is sad to hear

reminder anne rice went nuts and retroactively made the entire origin of the vampires from ancient aliens, and retconned meetings with angels and the devil as holographic AI constructs from the time of atlantis

what else was she going to do for the 11th novel in the series or whatever it was? personally, I checked out after queen of the damned, which was already a chore to get through.

I liked it when I was 13. highly doubt it holds up in any way.

I read it recently, honestly not bad. The first couple hundred pages were good moral horror, and the despair towards the end of it worked. Not masterful prose, but well above what's typical for genre fiction.

I've actually been considering rereading it for years now and maybe I actually will now. It's just that I'm generally wary of ruining the memory of things I liked as a kid/teenager by revisiting as a jaded boomer.
