Rice fans will enjoy this scholarly yet easily readable collection of critical dissections of the popular writer's work. Edited by Katherine Ramsland, author of the Rice biography Prism of the Night and the guides to Rice's work Vampire Companion and Witches Companion, this book contains thoughtful, provocative interviews, essays, articles, and explanations of Rice's work by journalists, scholars, and fellow authors. The contributions range from such essays as "The Landscape of Childhood Memories: New Orleans in the Life and Work of Anne Rice," by W. Kenneth Holditch, and "Lestat: The Vampire as the Degenerate Genius," by Richard Noll, to essays on the erotic implications of Rice's work and then to an interview with the writer herself. The quixotic assemblage of literary critics, including one professional dominatrix, weaves together a mesmerizing combination of interesting, informative, and enjoyable perspectives on the enigmatic author and her work.
