Anne Rice, a name and a legend. A person who whose lush, best-selling gothic tales reinvented the blood-drinking immortals as tragic antiheroes, has died. She was 80.
In a post on his mother’s public Facebook page, Rice’s son and frequent co-author, Christopher Rice, wrote, “In her final hours, I sat beside her hospital bed in awe of her accomplishments and her courage, awash in memories of a life that took us from the fog-laced hills of the San Francisco Bay Area to the magical streets of New Orleans to the twinkling vistas of Southern California. As she kissed Anne goodbye, her younger sister Karen said, ‘What a ride you took us on, kid.’ I think we can all agree. Let us take comfort in the shared hope that Anne is now experiencing firsthand the glorious answers to many great spiritual and cosmic questions, the quest for which defined her life and career.”

“Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us everyday.”

Anne Rice’s Gothic Fiction

Anne Rice wrote Gothic fiction, Christian and erotic literature. Her most iconic work is the ‘Vampire Chronicles’ saga, starring the vampire Lestat de Lioncourt and other characters, which began with the novel ‘Interview with the vampire’. This was adapted to the cinema by Neil Jordan, with a script by Anne Rice herself, in which Tom Cruise played Lestat in a cast full of legends such as Brad Pitt, Christian Slater, Kirsten Dunst and Antonio Banderas in one of his first roles in Hollywood.
Other adaptations of her work to the screen are ‘The Queen of the Damned’, partially based on novels from his vampire saga, ‘Two hounds on the island of Eden’, ‘The young messiah’ and the telefilm ‘Pride of race’.
AMC is currently preparing two series based on her novels. One is ‘Anne Rice’s ”Lives of the Mayfair Witches”, adaptation of the ‘Mayfair Witches’ trilogy that already has eight episodes ordered and will be released at the end of 2022. The other will be a new adaptation of ‘Interview with the Vampire’ , whose first eight-episode season will be seen next year and already has three cast names announced: Sam Reid will be Lestat, Jacob Anderson will be Louis and Bailey Bass will be the little Claudia.
Between 2017 and 2018, a serial project was launched based on the complete ‘Vampire Chronicles’ saga, with scripts by Christopher Rice. She became associated with the Bryan Fuller project, but eventually the ship did not reach any port and nothing is known about it.
