Ann Rice Gives Changes Vampires for Jesus

Popular Vampire, horror, witch author is giving up her calling of horror to write her first Christian novel.  Her memoir, "Called Out of Darkness: A Spiritual Confession," is the latest piece of evidence that Rice is reinventing herself in an attempt to build a reputation as a serious Christian writer. 

The memoir follows the release of two books in a planned four-part, first-person chronicle of the life of Jesus.

And in this new 245-page memoir, Rice presents her former life as vampire writer as that of a soul-searching wanderer in the deserts of atheism; as someone akin to her most famous literary creations -- Lestat, her "dark search engine," Louis the aristocrat-turned-vampire and Egyptian Queen Akasha, "the mother of all vampires."

"I do think that those dark books were always talking about religion in their own way. They were talking about the grief for a lost faith," she said.

I am a huge fan of Ann Rice and am sad that she wont be making any more of the books I loved to read.  However, I am excited to see what the next four books will be like.
