One of the great ones has died this day.
Anne Rice, the woman most responsible for the sexy vampire trope, has passed on at age 80.
I’ve never been a fan of the genre, the trope, or the author, but she’s had an enormous amount of cultural influence.
That being said, I feel she ought to be interred with a garlic garland, a load of poppy seeds, and a really big spike….

I had a lot of fun reading The Wolf Gift.

I suppose I should feel a greater sense of compassion for Rice, but I felt she was a weird duck. Especially since she “became a Christian” when she was trying to sell her book about Jesus’ childhood in Egypt and then decided she wasn’t one after all after the book sold poorly.
Well, game over.

Ditto, basically. There is no need to speak ill of the dead…
….even if I REALLY hate sexy vampires.

Give me a good old fashioned scary story that keeps me with a knuckle between my teeth, but with the vampire ending up with a stake through the heart.
