Anne Rice Follow

Anne Rice was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. Anne has spent more of her life in California than in New Orleans, but New Orleans provides the backdrop for many of her famous novels. The French Quarter provided the setting for her first novel, Interview with the Vampire. And her antebellum house in the Garden District was the fictional home of her imaginary Mayfair Witches.

She is the author of more than 30 books, including the Toby O'Dare novels Of Love and Evil, and Angel Time, and her memoir Called Out of Darkness. Her first novel, Interview With the Vampire, was published in 1976 and went on to become one of the best-selling novels of all time. She continued her saga of the Vampire Lestat in a series of books, collectively known as The Vampire Chronicles, which have had both great mainstream and cult followings.
