Her vampire novels had some pretty overt homosexual qualities (the relationship between Lestat and his friend, forget his name, comes to mind). Memnoch the Devil was downright blasphemous (Lestat drinking the blood of Jesus etc.) But I overlooked those and appreciated the historical detail she poured into her work. I could almost smell Paris of the seventeen hundreds.

A lot of what she wrote could be considered obscene. But she did come to be a Christian and disavow her earlier works. I think the last Lestat novel she wrote, was completely absent of the homosexuality. But it had... problems, let's just leave it at that LOL

(She had the vampires being created by space aliens.)

She had also written some x-rated books under a different pen name that were far more obscene than the vampire novels. They were bdsm porn really. Guess she had to hit rock bottom before she repented.

Skip down to the section “Who is at risk for a stroke?” She ticked off several risk factors:

She never disavowed her works.

http://annerice.com/

She returned to Catholicism for a time but before she died declared herself to be a “Secular Humanist” but one for whom “Christ is still central to her life, but not in the way he is presented by organized religion”.

Yeah, so?

She was vaxxed.

Without seeing her medical records and death certificate, we don’t know what killed her.

Only what’s been reported in the news.

And I know better to assume everything I hear or see in the media is true.

Because no 80-year-old with diabetes and a history of obesity and HBP ever died from stroke before the COVID vax.

Have read that she also wrote some very x rated fantasy books

She wrote several graphic sadomasochism and bondage books under the pen names Anne Rampling and A. N. Roquelaure.

“Vaxxed or not” doesn’t the age factor into anything?’

no, not anymore; from now on, anyone who dies, it’s because they took the jab...

Well then, in Pilgrim’s Regress terms seems she ended up at the house of Mr Broad.

I'm not judging her. I have enough of my own issues with organized religion.

I was doing a bunch of antenna work around New Orleans during Halloween, that evening back at the hotel there were some Southern Belles wearing very expensive Antebellum gowns. Were talkin Gone With The Wind type gowns, period coiffed the works.

I asked them where they were going and they told me they were all invited to the Anne Rice Halloween party which apparently was THE party in New Orleans at that time.

Wow, NOLA loves some Halloween...

It wasn’t passing judgement so much as clarifying where her publicly expressed position was. Hopefully she is with the Lord, but only God knows what is hidden in the heart. I think there is often a very real difference between what one publicly expresses and what their real relationship with God is. But as humans we can only judge what another expresses publicly and what they do publicly. We are not party to the person’s inner world.

Anne's vax

Son's vax

Her son is a deranged homo. It's a cult with these people. Scrolling through her twitter and seeing tds and a bunch of homosexual stuff.. It's just messed up.
