>>>She modeled the vampire child “Claudia” after her own little girl.
Interview is the one Anne Rice book I have read.... if this (the above) is true, this is one sick woman.
She wrote Interview in such a realistic, conversational style that at the time there was much speculation about whether it was really fiction, or truth. I’ve read a lot of her books, and really enjoyed them, but it got to be a bit much. Too much homo-eroticism and as the poster said, ‘goth-emo satanism.’
That depends on how you look at it. The child, Claudia, needed blood to survive, and so did the daughter she lost. Both of them died.
There is no doubt Anne was out of her mind with grief. I enjoyed Interview , as well as some of Stephen King's works. Some would say he is one sick puppy too.
