"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." It's the most startling public turnaround since Bob Dylan's "Slow Train Coming" announced that he'd been born again.

The intention is most likely noble, but why tell a story about Christ as a youth when the Bible is silent about it. That the story is narrated by Christ himself makes the book even more implausible.

And here I thought Ann Rice was just another hair-brained lefty.
