“Very few beings really seek knowledge in this world. Mortal or immortal, few really ask. On the contrary, they try to wring from the unknown the answers they have already shaped in their own minds — justifications, confirmations, forms of consolation without which they can’t go on. To really ask is to open the door to the whirlwind. The answer may annihilate the question and the questioner.”
― Anne Rice, The Vampire Lestat

Anne Ruce: “The Mystery of the Lighted World”

Photographers Unknown, (Spotlights), Selfies

“Something in me was responding now as the audience responded, not in fear, but in some human way, to the magic of that fragile painted set, the mystery of the lighted world there.”

― Anne Rice, Inerview with a Vampire

Anne Rice, “The Wolf Gift Chronicles”

Anne Rice, The Wolf Gift Chronicles : Book One- “The Wolf Gift”; Book Two- “The Wolves of Midwinter”

“The morph from human to werewolf is typically depicted with growling, snarling and more of an air of pain and violence. Only Anne Rice would attempt to describe lycanthrophy as a viral infection that transforms the body’s muscle into a sort of erectile tissue, and then draw parallels between the transformation and the physiological process of arousal and climactic release. Rice’s wolf experience is a full-blown orgy of all the senses described with her characteristically florid prose.” -Andrea Sefler. Pop Mythology

For werewolf fans- great books to start a new series. Devour them.
