And Speak Of The Devil...Cue Twilight Zone Music...

New York Daily News - Home - Rice's latest novel: Interview with a Messiah

"Anne Rice has found God - and her legion of devoted fans will have to get used to life without her blood-soaked vampire novels.
The best-selling queen of Gothic fiction told Newsweek her upcoming book, and all future works, will be written in the voice of Jesus Christ.
"I promised that from now on I would write only for the Lord," Rice, who has sold 136 million copies of her 25 books, told Newsweek."

Ann Rice has found Jesus? THAT Ann Rice? The homoerotic Queen of the B-novels has ditched the neck suckers and returned to the Lord? And how can this be?

"Rice, 65, who returned to the Catholic Church after a life-threatening medical scare, now plans to write three sequels about the life of Christ."

Ah, there ya go. Nothing like a life-threatening medical scare to bring the Lord back into one's life, is there Annie. Then again, it's Ann Rice we're talking about so the "scare" could have been nothing more than her dermatologist running out of botox.

And since there are no references to Joshua ben Josef in any historical tome...aside from contradictory tales "written" by his followers that in reality turned out to have been created by several monks in the year 300 or thereabouts, Ms Rice will have nothing to go by other than her infertile imagination. The same imagination that brought us gay vampires lisping over their intended prey so batten down the hatches gang, this is going to be one helluva read.
