Anne Rice–Christian

Anne Rice (the vam­pire nov­el­ist) has become a Chris­t­ian.

“For the last six months,” she says, “peo­ple have been send­ing e‑mails say­ing, ‘What are you doing next?’ And I’ve told them, ‘You may not want what I’m doing next’.” We’ll know soon. In two weeks, Anne Rice, the chron­i­cler of vam­pires, witch­es and—under the pseu­do­nym A. N. Roquelaure—of soft-core S&M encoun­ters, will pub­lish “Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt,” a nov­el
about the 7‑year-old Jesus, nar­rat­ed by Christ him­self. “I promised,” she says, “that from now on I would write only for the Lord.”

Inci­den­tal­ly, her nov­el is get­ting rave reviews.

The advance notices say she’s pulled it off: Kirkus Reviews’ starred rave pro­nounces her Jesus “ful­ly believ­able.”
