Anne Rice is the author of such classic vampire stories like Interview With the Vampire in her Vampire Chronicles series, and today she took to Facebook to throw a bit of a zing at the Twilight books.
She posted:
Lestat and Louie feel sorry for vampires that sparkle in the sun. They would never hurt immortals who choose to spend eternity going to high school over and over again in a small town —- anymore than they would hurt the physically disabled or the mentally challenged. My vampires possess gravitas. They can afford to be merciful.
Was this a bit out of line for Rice? To us, it’s always off-putting when authors pick on fellow people in the same field.
