Book Description

Publication Date: Sep 30 1996 | Series: Critical Companions to Popular Contemporary Writers
Anne Rice's fame rests on her supernatural tales, but she is far more than a horror novelist. She goes beyond the genre by changing the classic horror stories into myths, fairy tales, and nightmares in order to explore philosophical questions of life, death, evil, and the meaning of existence. This is the most up-to-date analysis of her work and includes individual chapters on each of her vampire, witch, and mummy novels, including her most recent, Memnoch the Devil (1995). This study also features a biographical chapter and a chapter which discusses her use of the supernatural, horror, and fantasy genres.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Treatise Oct 21 2001
By "knightsky"
Format:Hardcover
This is an in-depth look at Anne Rice's novels from an analytical perspective. Not only did it give me more insight into one of my favorite authors, but it was written in clear-sighted prose by another of my favorite authors.

What a great book. I felt like I was in class taking Anne Rice 101! Great insights on her books especially on "Interview with a vampire". Great reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Indispensable! July 1 1999
By A Customer
Format:Hardcover
No serious Rice scholar can miss this thoughtful treatise on the novelist's art, life, and oeuvre. Less serious readers will also enjoy the concise, lively prose and clear-headed insights from Crusie, famous on her own for genre-bending novels of love and life. Highly recommended.
