Anne Rice, born Howard Allen O'Brien, (New Orleans (Louisiana), 4 October 1941) is an American writer. She is the author of several popular books series. ==Life Course[ Edit] == Among other things The Vampire Chronicles (the Vampire Chronicles) and The Lives of the Mayfair Witches (The Mayfair-witches) are of her hand. The books are of themystery-horror genre, with in the Vampire Chronicles as the most important main character Lestat and the vampire in The Mayfair-witches the mind/Taltos Lasher. The Vampire Chronicles are about the adventures of Lestat and other vampires; The Mayfair-witches go about the spirit Lasher which through thirteen generations-Mayfairwitches trying to obtain a body and that in the long run by comes as a Taltos, a superras.

The book Interview with the Vampire and Queen of the Damned are filmed; The Vampire Lestat 's runs a musical in Broadway and The Lifes of the Mayfair Witches andThe Mummy or Ramses the Damned is a mini-series or motion picture made.

Rice is in the late 1990s, returned to the Roman Catholic faith of her childhood, but she never moved away from her earlier books about vampires, witches and demons.Nowadays she writes Christian books. In 2005 came Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt, from the first part of a trilogy about the life of Jesus. This book was followed by Christ the Lord: The Road to Cana, that came out in 2008. The third part, Christ the Lord: Kingdom of Heaven and a not yet announced fourth part of the series, however, are put off because Rice again in 2010 of the faith has turned away. In a statement she says she still believes in Jesus, but that they can no longer condone the views of the Vatican. She has always had trouble with the views of the Church towards homosexuality and feminism. Ultimately, this led to a break between Rice and the Church. ==Bibliography[ Edit] == The Vampire Chronicles:
