You touched the hearts of so many around the world with your kind, deep and giving soul. May you Rest in Peace, beautiful Anne. You will be forever missed. Your spirit will live on through your amazing son who also adds joy and richness to our hearts. Your spirit also lives on through your immortal characters, and in the hearts of so many that you touched forever. We love you.

Lastat, Louis, Armand and Marius watching True Blood together 🤣🤣🤣 ohhh the comments from those fellas 😅🤣 I can only imagine the comedy of those remarks !

This is one of my favorite discussions with Rice and her son. Rest In Peace, Anne. 😔

Thanks to Christopher for sharing on Anne's FB page. She'll forever be missed.

All families are complicated, but on that stage she showed a love and appreciation for her son and he for his mother. What a gift they gave each other. Imperfect I'm sure because humans are involved, but what we got to see here was really beautiful.

When she begins to speak about being vampires and not dying i lost it. Rip anne we miss you

Anne Rice was the first author who I really got into - all her books are like magical gifts and such a pleasure to read - so brilliant. I love to hear her speak about her work and her experience as a writer and her encouragement and insights for writers/artists/creatives. I am so glad her son Christopher is carrying the torch in writing and he is a pleasure to listen to as well.

What a great conversation. Amazing writer. We are lucky that she left so many great books behind.

Thank you, Anne Rice, for all you did, all you wrote, and the lyrical poetic way you wrote them. Thank you for being so personable with your fans and responding to us all. Your writing is romantically hypnotic. Rest in peace and fly free.

Christopher REALLY looks like his Dad! I truly miss the feeling I had waiting for a new Anne Rice novel 😢 ... she was brilliant!

You will never be forgotten!your fantastic vampires will live forever and you through them,in a way you have found immortality.thank you for creating such rich vivid stories for so many to escape to,thank you for being you.I hope you rest easy in the big easy Anne❤️

I wish I would’ve known about her Facebook page and how interactive she was with the people there. I would’ve loved to have interacted with her and now she’s gone and with the way things are going for me, I don’t know.

Ann has always liked fan contact. Her book signings were the best.

I recently got my MFA from UC Riverside and used ALL of her vampire works in my thesis on varying craft in writing sexuality. Anne Rice was the reason at 12 years old why I did not feel so alone. She will be missed greatly and I am typing this with deep gratitude for her work and her life.

Rest we loved your books!!

I think anyone who doesn’t like her writing cannot be reading what I am. Every sentence is a poem. Every word lyrical. And Lestat. Perfection. 🖤 Wolf Killer.

Through her books, she was my greatest writing teacher.

Woah, just heard she's passed on. Devestating and my heart goes out to her family. What a blow for the rest of us to loose this genious, no more tales of the vampires to look forward to. And she never got to see the Chronicles represented on television. I hope she has her answers now and that she is finally reunited with her daughter and at peace. Thank you Anne! Perhaps it was a good time to move on, being spared what society is now turning into...

Anne Rice excelled at giving life and emotion to her characters. Claudia till this day, digs at my heart. Knowing now that interview was born preceding the death of her daughter, makes so much sense why Claudia's story and Louis's loss is so heartbreaking.

"write the book of your dreams". you wrote the books of my dreams Queen. rest in peace. heavy sigh. thank you for this

Thank you Christopher and Anne for a wonderful 1h15m! Rest in peace Anne!

She wanted to be immortal and I think her light is still shining, only she's on a warm beach making sand castles with her child. Anyone who would fill their pool with ice and beer and throw a Halloween party I'm cool with...

Well I want to thank Anne Rice for the hours and hours of pleasure I've experienced reading her work. I've loved the films tho they never match her books. In fact, I'd love to see a film Anne Rice was in control of. Directed with a free rein. I loved her David character. It was almost in-between reality and the fantastic. I fall for her characters. She makes me. thank you

This discussion was just fantastic. A mother and son, two successful authors, traditional publishing vs today's landscape. So enlightening and full of love for literature, the process, the characters, the reader and each other. It must have been a wonderful environment to grow up in.....I'm delighted to find ye, both on this stage, exactly the way I would have imagined ye when I was a teenager in the late 90s discovering Anne's work. Thanks for this, Christopher & Anne. She has crossed over to immortality now. Lestat and the rest will mind her always. And we will remember her for as long as people speak about vampires and witches.

Any one who ever read your books. Mesmerizing. Anne you will be missed!

I actually watched this years ago. I don’t when it was originally posted but it was so good to see again at this sad time. I am a huge fan of the witch series. But I have read other of Annes books with enjoyment. I hope she was wrong about some things and she has found her answers on the other side and who knows maybe a way to let us know them too. For someone who wrote about such dark dense subjects she had such a light hearted nature & we can see how she enjoyed her son and sharing knowledge. RIP Queen Anne

You will be missed, but we have your books

Anne was so avant garde and ahead of her time I saw her at a book signing in Victoria BC at Bolan Books Store I told her I had written a vampire book and she was so encouraging I remember when I started to write there were some professional writers who made uncouraging comments I was destroyed

Wonderful...need to reread some books and some I haven't RIP Ms Anne

Such a great Lady! Rest in peace and thank you for the amazing books and characters you left us with!!!

2:58 Epic collaboration

Christopher looks so much like his dad!

To think I'll never hear from Lestat De Lioncourt ever again well, it brakes my heart. You grow up in the world of arts mine had been many as an entertainer myself. Ann Rice just took me into the world that I always had dreams of and still do as a little girl. I've experience Deja Vu so many times in my life. My dreams scare me because the people in them aren't nice. I've been visited by things I can't explain. When I was told I had pancreatic cancer and 3 to six months left to live it had been and remains crippling. I loss all I worked hard for to stay living which most don't make it. I live with a tiny piece of my pancreas it had all but been removed with the tumor. While I was being operated on the woman I saw as a little girl came to me again. I asked her what is your name mind you we had been laying in a field that I felt was living . The trees were so green the leaf's had been dripping down so plentiful. The grass moved with the wind whispering and it to had been so green rich and full. The women was washing me she told me her name was Elizabeth but that everyone here called her Ruth. I asked where are we never mind that she said I'm here to let you know you are going to be okay. Now mind you the first time I saw her she had been wearing a long cloth velvet black jacket with a huge hood that they wore in the 1800's and her hair was so long thick beautiful and jet black. However, this time I was wrapped in white silk cloth only over my hip area and she was wearing a white shear laced twined cotton gown. I awoke to my doctors telling me I'm going to be ok that they think they got it all however, I will be in hospital for 30 some odd days . That if I am to survive I would continue to have pain from my cells attacking one another called lipase and amylase. I was also one of ten to recieve this procedure it had been new called a distal pancreatectomy. Many now are able to have this procedure only if they catch the tumor growing in time. One being we can not live without a pancreas. Its since been over ten yrs in remission. Once I was home with 352 staples from the bottom of my throat to my bellybutton along with a couple hundred of stitches that dissolve on the inside of my incision. Any note, I know that we do go somewhere for my doctors also told me they lost me for a bit that they also needed to keep an eye on my ticker aka heart. When it comes to death I have no fear it's how I am going that fears me. We all come from a realm of energy to which is why most if not all people will feel a connection with the ocean , forest, mountains, most of all the evening sky. Theres billions of stars energy . Life after death isn't in the form of ghost or human beings coming back but it is back to its darkness that we had been before we had been able to race to get into the womb to be carried a vacation that is planned for us all. Once here we all have our journey. Good bad or ugly no matter what it is a triumph a will to survive. I don't understand why some of us are given miracles but I gotten three now and I know that being kind and honest and giving and forgiving plays a huge part of our blessings. Or why one given 3 to 6 months might have other duties . Once we pass will we come back absolutely not . So many lessons but there isn't one of us who has fulfilled what we are suppose to . Its utterly impossible. I do know those who dare to take a life will face consequences that certainly won't be like prison. We do not want to be there its horrifying. I've seen it. I once fell asleep hearing this mumbling I opened my eyes standing over me was this indian shaking a bag over my entire body although I was awake this entity did not say I do anything it just kept on swaying this bag shaking it up and down my body from my head to my feet singing the singing These mumbling words. Then a year later I went to Connecticut I stopped to look around this antique store and out pops this Indian he scared me because he grabbed my hand and told me I needed protection to wait a moment he came back with this beautiful handmade turquoise and Pearl's beaded necklace that he had made the beads and Pearl's had been so tiny but beautiful and the center had a intricate design to which he told me will protect me. When I asked of what he told me the biggest was jealousy. Ironically I been dealing with that since I had been born. I've had this necklace for 43 yrs. I always can see him as if he is now a greater protector of me. I thanked him dearly. He wanted no money . So I guess Ann is now in her realm with her husband and I shall miss her writings. I know she had left the beginning of the end but she didn't have time to finish what she wanted to write. Although she has plenty of ideas she jotted down kept away. I only hope her family will somehow figure out away to collaborate all of it together to print the Lasting . May she rest in peace my Sincerest Condolences to her family and all of us who adored her as well as her world she wrote of. Peace 🌟💜🌟

I'm just commenting for the algorithm. This episode is under-appreciated. Needs more comments, likes, and shares. #WheresTheLove #AnneRice

This was wonderful. I found myself nodding and smiling, as an author of vampires myself, it's good to see that some of what I do is how Christopher and Anne do it. The discussion about hearing the voices of the characters was so great, I honestly thought maybe I was crazy. I've always admired Anne for her work and the love she brings to her characters and this was so affirming. I have to go find Christopher's books now and see how his work is. I've been a fan of her Facebook page probably since its inception, I'm on facebook a lot. There was one discussion about her answering and when she answered me on something, I was all "OMG, Anne Rice read what I wrote!!" Bounced like a teenager for a solid week. THANK YOU Christopher for sharing this on FB today. I needed it.

Queen of the Word always x

This is amazing I love these two awesome humans ❤

Thank you for sharing this!

This is great. Learned a lot watching this.

💙 love you Anne. Thanks for sharing, Chris.

love her, long live Anne!

Brilliant. We love you. You are in our thoughts. God comfort you at this trying time, Christopher, though live long and as happily as you can manage.

The story of interview with a vampire is one of my all time favourite movies. The thing is, it touches on fact. It's about how a human dies, and revives themselves from 'their ashes'...The older baggage goes through a transformation to become a new person...At that junction, time stops. Hence the new being dont age...Her thinking is close to a warrior, and warriors walk a stairway to heaven..ie immortality

She looks so beautiful for her age 😍

Fabulous

He has her eyes.

Thanks Anne Rice for sharing the part about your husbands moral support One of my friends told me her husband threw away her book into the fire He died and left her to work as a mail woman

Rest In Love Anne, your Vampire Chronicles changed my life and validated my sexuality. Thank you so much!

Meanwhile Fan fiction writers are going nuts ,,,as if they could everrrr could live up to the standards Anne has risen too.
