The Macabre Republic mourns today: literary great Anne Rice has passed away at the age of 80, following complications from a stroke. It’s very sad that Ms. Rice won’t get to see the forthcoming television series adaptation of her Vampire Chronicles brought to the screen. But she leaves behind a rich legacy of Gothic novels, a body of work that has secured her immortality within horror-genre history.
Sad loss, for sure. Love her works. The Witching Hour was my favorite book for a spell.
I’ve had The Witching Hour sitting on my bookshelf forever, but still haven’t tackled it. Now might be the time.
