Anne Rice

Writer

Anne Rice (1941–2021) was an American novelist best known for Interview with the Vampire and The Vampire Chronicles, influential in modern vampire fiction.

Author of Interview with the Vampire (published 1976) and the Vampire Chronicles; born 1941, died 2021; noted for gothic and vampire fiction that emphasized romantic and existential themes.

A strongly negative, sardonic review that critiques Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire for verbosity, excessive sentimentality, and limited plot movement. The reviewer situates Rice in a lineage from Stoker to Coppola and Twilight, arguing she romanticized vampires to the point of weakening their horror. The review rates the book 2/5 and calls Rice overrated.

For:Readers and critics of gothic and vampire literature; people seeking a critical take on Anne Rice's work.

 I find that the evolution of the vampire in literature rather well describes the cultural devolution that humanity has undergone from the late 1800s to today.
