Lady Rice, always so elegant, you have to love her. I believe she is one of the most intelligent, respectful authors out there. She speaks from the heart and is honest, and she is right twilight is a series for teenagers, and it is beautiful in its own way. The typical scenario that a lot of women dream of, the older dangerous man who comes along and sweeps us off our feet into the unknown. It's charming, and I can see a lot of teenage girls falling in love with that idea. :)

Anne Rice is right, Twilight is stupid and I thought the same thing myself: if I were an immortal, would I choose to remain in highschool? Hell no. The world is too vast for that, being a vampire changes your very soul...and it's not only the fact that Twilight and Vampire Diaries characters choose highschool. It's the fact that they still behave like little kids after 100 years, and that's illogical. If people change so much from 15 to 21, can you imagine the changes in more than a century, in 1000 years? Twilight and the Vampire Diaries seem to ignore this fact, they don't create real vampires nor real people, but sexy unreal idols for horny teenagers. Anne Rice is an extraordinary writer and a legend, and she has created myth. She deserves the admiration she has and she has earned the right to criticize new comers.

The Vampire Chronicles markets to the slightly older audience, late teens through adult, who have started to question religion, life issues, philosophy, ect. So there's really no comparison between the two. My hope is these kids reading Twilight will grow to pick up the Vampire Chronicles, and learn something from them.

"Wonderful writer...entertaining...easy to read..." Well-chosen words, excellent analysis. She compliments Meyer on the level that Meyer's fans can understand, shows respect, and yet does not put it on a level with more intense, adult writing. And of course, she's right - Rice is showing respect, not really on a serious writer's level, but on the level of one publishing phenomenon to another. And yet if you really parse what she's saying, she completely puts Meyer in her place as a hack.

First Mrs.Rice was and still is one of my favorite authors, not only in Vampire/gothic genre. I literally cried when I heard the news that she passed away and all the memories of me reading her work when I was a teenager came back. I read somewhere that her son Mr.Rice said "she used Vampires to show people that they belong", and it described my feeling about reading her works so precisely. I struggled to fit in for most of my life because of who or what I am, and I found great comfort for my loneliness and torment from her works. I still find more insight from rereading her works as I'm much older, though I stopped struggling to fit in and feel self-assured at this stage of life. I was and am still in awe of her works, and I'll never forget how I found great companionship in them. As for twilight, I'm not any public figure so I'll just put it this way: It's a piece of indulgent and harmful ____. I found it stupid as a school girl and I still despise it. It's like porno, but the poorly made ones, besides you can't really m_____ with twilight, so why bother reading it?

You can tell when Anne Rice pauses at the very beginning before saying that she's a "wonderful writer" that she's just trying real hard not to say something to harsh and trying to be classy. Lol, good on Rice. Clearly, Lestat as a character beats all the characters in twilight to death. Way more fleshed out and just way more interesting. The only character that I will give Meyer credit for, looking back, is Jacob. He was at least likeable in the beginning, but then of course Meyer had to fuck that up in the end. I really think the series would've been better if, at the end of the second book, Bella goes ahead and rescues Edward but then realizes what a toxic person he is and comes to fully understand what he did to her. So, she basically tells him to fuck off and ends realizing has selfish she's been all this time. And then, ultimately, she chooses to be with Jacob instead since then she wouldn't have to leave her family behind and she could have a normal, happy life. You know, since Jacob at least wasn't a controlling, toxic d-bag. I think there would've much more development and the story would've turned out a lot better than what it did. It also could've had a much more valuable lesson. Idk, just my thoughts. Anyways, Rice is the superior writer, clearly.

Teenage boys were like that! It also gives me a chance to relive and rethink those times. And I enjoy the symbolic, less horror approach. I love Anne's gothic poeticism though, it's divine!

Anne Rice is very straight forward. She's on my FB. I see what she says and writes everyday. This is her opinion. Going to High School was not silly it dealt with their decision to stay in one place and hunt animals and not humans. They were trying to blend in. They didn't want to move around a lot. Meyer's vampires, and only some of them were trying to gain back their humanity and live as families. But if you read the books or watched the movies, some were very evil and vicious.

If Stephenie Meyer was not brilliant she would not have sold millions of books. Anyone can criticize, but how successful of a writer are they? She took an old idea and made it new. Our biology dictates how we feel about love and romance, and it seems to be timeless - which is why vampires are so well fitting for these novels. Anne Rice got it right. I read all the books, and I promise I am not in high school anymore. But I really enjoyed the story and admire the genius that created this epic youthful saga. It's been a while now. But Miss Meyers is still enjoying the fruits of her labor, no doubt.

A good number of events and characters in the Vampire Chronicles are related to events and people in Anne's life and Claudia was one of them. Louis is Anne's alter ego and Claudia represents the daughter she lost a long time ago.

Anne Rice's vampire novels are about the nature of good and evil, how power corrupts, how loneliness can haunt even the most intriguing and powerful of creatures, and many other themes told through the eyes of an amazing character who has seen history unfold over centuries. Meyer's books are children's novels that outline the fantasy of overcoming all those high school woes. I'm not knocking those books either. Anything that generates an interest in reading is good in my opinion.

If people could read my vampire novel they'd simply fall in love with it. I have a video call Fantastic Vampires Epic Novel, which illustrates the synopsis.

As Ms. Rice has been so kind as to ask the opinions of those favoring the Twilight books, I felt I'd like to share my thoughts. If I see someone with a question and not a slam ok, I won't likely reply to others. Vampires in nearly any setting don't bother me. We often romanticize Venice and other settings, but if you're an immortal, I'd imagine that also would seem mundane after so many years. Vampires who see their condition as a curse may seek the "ordinary" to maintain a human connection.

Anne was very generous with this! She could have just panned it like some other authors have. I'm still thinking about reading Twilight from sheer curiosity, but I fear they may be too absurd to get through. Imo Anne Rice novels are synonymous with the word "vampire".

I have been a fan of Anne Rice since Interview with a Vampire first came out and I love and also a fan of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight Saga Books too... I am from the old generation and found Twilight refreshing!... What upset me is the way that Ms Rice "batch" Ms Meyer!!... I just found it... (no words can describe it) We (or I) love ya Ms Rice!... Just disappointed at what said about Ms Meyer :(

Deep down, we all know what she’s thinking. “Anyway, Louis and Lestat are a much better couple.”

The books were ok to read once, but I had difficulty reading them a second time. The movies are easier to watch in the sense that they aren't so drawn out. It is a little silly for a vampire to go to high school, but they may be doing it because they are bored with immortality and need something to do everyday. Keep up with the times, if you will.

I wanted her to chew Meyer out, but seeing her be polite about it while trashing it at the same time rocked even more.

Anne Rice is absolutely right!!! If you had all the time in the world, why in the hell would you go to high school??? Stephanie Meyers vampires starts out very strong and can't control there blood lust when they are born, Anne Rice's vampires start off human and as they get older loose there humanity....... The latter seems the most appropriate way to me......Anne Rice is the Queen of vampire lore, and a very gifted writer......No one can touch her in that department.

Totally agree with you Mrs. Anne, the movies were very good but the whole idea of these new vampires is totally for a younger audience. Adults prefere vampires like the ones you write about, Lestat is a real vampire in my opinion.

i'm actually surprised she's not insulted. i mean, Lestat De Lioncourt is probably the second most recognizable Vampire, second only to Dracula. i so hope i have you review my work someday , Madame.

People usually insult Twilight because the vampires shine instead of burning and they try to have humanity, in my opinion every author can give them all the qualities they want, like superheroes, what if all comic books were about super strong flying heroes, if all the heroes had the same powers? i think Stephenie wanted to make her vampires different than the others. I admire Anne and i think it's unfair that some SM fans said she was bashing Twilight when she was just stating her opinion.
