Goodbye to Anne Rice, Author of Interview with the Vampire

We hope the bestselling author, who died this weekend at age 80, can rest in peace--unlike some of her most famous characters.

We devoured the book and the sequels--just as Lestat and his vampire friends devoured human blood. So like others who never considered how sexy fanged incisors could be before reading Interview With the Vampire, we are sad to hear about author Anne Rice's passing this weekend at age 80.

"The immensity of our family’s grief cannot be overstated," said her son Christopher, announcing her death on Twitter. "In her final hours, I sat beside her hospital bed in awe of her accomplishments and her courage, awash in memories of a life that took us from the fog laced hills of the San Francisco Bay Area to the magical streets of New Orleans to the twinkling vistas of Southern California. As she kissed Anne goodbye, her younger sister Karen said, `What a ride you took us on, kid.' I think we can all agree."
