Anne Rice's Complete Bookshelf
With Reviews and Reader Comments Here

Her real name is Howard Allen O'Brien. She changed it to "Anne" when she started school, and sometimes it seems that Anne Rice has been reinventing herself ever since. With her hypnotic tales of vampires and witches and all the things your parents told you did not exist, Rice has built an adoring readership that cannot get enough of her tales, whether she is writing as A.N. Roquelaure, Anne Rampling, or as Anne Rice.

Rice's life story is tinged with tragedy. She lost her mother when she was 15. Later in life, she lost a daughter to leukemia, and almost destroyed herself with alcohol, like her mother before her. Rice married young, right out of high school, to poet Stan Rice. They attended college together in San Francisco. After her daughter Michelle died at the age of eight, Rice's grief led her straight to the bottle. But then, to help herself through the pain, she began to spin a dark tale of vampires and everlasting life. One of the characters in the book, Claudia, was modeled on the author's dead child. The book was Interview with the Vampire, a publishing sensation.

The author has no difficulty playing to her audience. She once showed up at a book signing in a coffin, and she regularly uses her own properties as settings in her stories. Rice is remarkable for her accessibility, regularly answering fans' questions on the Internet. But she says she rarely goes out and usually only sees her readers at scheduled book signings.
