The illustrious Anne Rice, now 67, is most famous for her lush vampire novels beginning in the ’70s. The most famous is “Interview With the Vampire,” 1976. Critics have said her vampire books compare favorably with Mary Shelley’s legendary “Frankenstein.” Her output has been diverse, and she has more than 30 novels to her credit, a few using pseudonyms, including Anne Rampling and A.N. Roquelaure.
Her books have sold nearly 100 million copies, meaning she is one of the most widely read authors in modern history. She has also written a few erotic novels. Born in New Orleans, she was eccentrically christened Howard Allen O’Brien, the first name in honor of her father, but she introduced herself in the first grade as Anne — and that name has stuck.
