This article has been viewed enough times in a single week to appear in the Top 25 Report. The week in which this happened: December 12 to 18, 2021

This section should probably be re-written: "Following the publication of Interview with the Vampire, while living in California, Rice wrote two historical novels, The Feast of All Saints and Cry to Heaven, along with four erotic novels (The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty, Beauty's Punishment, Beauty's Release, and Beauty's Kingdom) under the pseudonym A. N. Roquelaure" Beauty's Kingdom was written 30 YEARS after Beauty's Release, and is markedly different in content and tone. The way it's written right now suggests they were written in close succession, all in California. In fact she has moved many times in those 30 years. I'd do it myself but I don't consider myself a very good writer.68.231.185.52 (talk) 19:55, 7 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Am I the only person who, being intimately familiar with Anne Rice's work and writing style, senses that Rice herself either authored this article or at least has heavily contributed to it? As silly as it sounds, this kind of thing is more common than one might expect. WikiEditorial101 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 02:25, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The third book hyperlink for the Mummy Trilogy links to the second book. I do not know how to fix this and I do not know if there is even a 3rd book article. 174.87.34.30 (talk) 04:37, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Having heard of her often, I'd have thought she did, as most famous writers do. But the article doesn't mention any. Is this an omission or was she simply "above" the whole recognition deal? InedibleHulk (talk) 18:32, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
