Anne Rice's Jesus

Novelist Anne Rice made her name, fame and fortune on dark tales of vampires and illicit love. Her Vampire Chronicles, starting with "Interview with the Vampire" and her dark, blood-drawn hero Lestat, blossomed into a cultural phenomenon — and sold millions of books.

In 2002, after a religious conversion, Anne Rice vowed to devote her work as a writer to God. She's out now with her second big book putting the Anne Rice imagination — and devotion — to work on the life of Jesus. This time, Jesus at 30, coming to terms with divinity.
