Rice blasts Amazon.com reviewers for negative reviews.
Anne, I think you have officially jumped the shark.
And you need an editor. Christ.
I missed this!
Anyway, Anne Rice. All I can say is haw haw.
We are after all talking about a woman who dresses like an end table and wants to have sex with vampires. It goes without saying she takes herself VERY seriously.
Terrific headline, though, isn’t it?
[QUOTE…you have used this site as if it were a public urinal to publish falsehood and lies.[/QUOTE]
Hellish lies!!!
Negative reviews are no fun. I understand Rice’s feelings. Granted, the total circulation of every book I’ve written is only a small fraction of the first print run for an Anne Rice book, but I still understand the glow of a good review and the sting of a bad one.
You’d think after writing for a few decades, Rice would understand that you can’t please everybody. When you get a bad review, you move on, rather than throwing a public hissy fit. It’s unprofessional and doesn’t accomplish a darned thing (except generating more negative comments on Amazon).
When Anne Rice decided she was the some form of city protector here in New Orleans, I figured she was a going overboard. She fought to have a Restaurant kept from opening on St. Charles Avenue because she felt it didn’t fit the areas image. Being Anne Rice, the local news gave her plenty of coverage but ignored everyone else’s opinion.
I heard it was because the site for the restaurant was supposedly where she had Lestat’s final resting place.
God, what a drama whore.
I thought she jumped the shark a loooong time ago.
The reason she gave on the news was that the the side of the building would be gaudy compared to the rest of the area. Anyone who knows Al Copeland knows he does gaudy well.
Based on Interview with a Vampire, it’s my considered opinion that Anne Rice came pre-jumped.
Her purple prose makes Ayn Rand look brief and too the point. Ayn Fucking RAND.
(And for those who don’t know my opinions of Rand, that’s saying something!)
“Kornholed by Koontz extravaganza” priceless. 
Somewhere on this board is a comment by someone to the effect of, “In my day, vampires weren’t whiny little bastards who drank blood and complained about it. In my day, vampires liked nothing better than drinking blood!”
Miller, I agree with you completely about Rice being pre-jumped. If you read between the lines in interviews that Rice has given discussing that book, you realize that it’s basically a recounting of her life just prior to writing the book. Must have been great to be a kid in that house, huh? Both your parents raging alcoholics who constantly whined and bitched.
From the article:
Eh? Interview, Queen of the Damned, and?
Anne, sweetie, it’s not slander if what they’re saying is TRUE. For the love of all that’s holy, back AWAY from the computer.
I don’t know if it’s in the series, but the only other movie of hers I can think of is Exit to Eden.
Damn you! I wantd to post the S*P link!
Anne Rice is nuttier than a pecan log. Did you see what she posted on her site?
Err… o-kay…
Really? I thought she bit its neck, sucked it dead, and cloacabanged the cartilaginous corpse.
Wonder who I was thinking about.
Wait wait wait.
You mean, there’s a person… on the internet… who uses the name “Lestat”?
I’M SHOCKED! SHOCKED AND AMAZED!
