Sounds like a talented guy, and like they had a good marriage. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by LunaSea \* > \*\*The poor woman. ☹ \*\* Now, now **LunaSea**. Don’t be upset. Just because the man is _dead_ doesn’t mean the poor woman’s marriage is _over_. After all, this is _Ann Rice_ were’re talking about. She _might_ even think her “conjugal relations” have improved… ---

You know one of my pet peeves? When people use a person’s death as a source of humor. Her husband just died. It isn’t fucking funny. ---

Luna…context. To someone who is remotely familiar with Anne Rice it can in fact be amusing in an admittedly morbid way. It’s how human beings deal with that final prospect, otherwaise we all just lurch around grimly awaiting our own mortality. ---

I do know who Anne Rice is, I was a fan of hers. Suggesting that she’s going to engage in necrophilia with her husband of 41 years is grotesque. ---

I agree with LunaSea, the OP is neither funny, nor clever, and in very bad taste. ---

Alas, what’s grim and grotesque and horrific to one person is perverse and amusing to the next. I can assure you I’ve heard jokes about intrinsically ‘unfunny’ things (like the Holocaust for example) that still manage to illicit that sense of ironic amusement that gets a chuckle. When people react with seeming ‘Righteous indignation’ I always get a warning flag popping up. The term ‘How dare you’ almost invariably comes from someone in a perceived position of moral authority. Frankly, that kind of morality sucks. ---

Ann Rice has made her whole career, such as it is, writing about necrophilia in her various trashy vampire novels. And whatever her fans may _say_, that is the vulgar basis for her “success”, which is more financial than literary. Rice’s books have been vulgar trash from the begining, and she has deliberately portrayed herself in a grotesque manner during the promotion of her books, even putting on silly “vampire clothes” for her back cover photos.\*\* You are defending the dignity of a woman who has deliberately destroyed her own dignity.\*\* Elvira has more self-respect. Your defence is an absurdity. ---

So, she writes crap and dresses funny. She’s still a person. ---

Bosda, the claims you’re making about Anne Rice sound like the ramblings of somebody with an irrational hatred of her to me. Fiery assertions, zero evidence. I particularly question your omniscient knowledge about what Anne Rice fans _really_ like about her work. I’m no expert on Anne Rice, don’t particularly like her novels, but IIRC the vampires in her novels were uninterested in sex. I mean, you have actually _read_ them, right? -fh ---
