西儒 ─ The Western Confucian (Free subscription) | 11/09/2009
"Save your soul, damn your art," pans Lloyd Rose — A killer may find salvation, but thriller is unredeemed . The reviewer ackowledges, however, "It's impossible to doubt the sincerity of Rice's religious feelings or to ignore a new authorial serenity." I've never read any of this authoress's works, but one does not become a Flannery O'Connor overnight. Perhaps she needs some...

ANGEL TIME By Anne Rice Knopf. 272 pp. $25.95 "There were omens from the beginning," Anne Rice's "Angel Time" begins. It's a nice first sentence for a mystical thriller: forebodings of doom, promises of supernatural happenings to come. The first-person narrator is the melodramatically named Toby...

The God Conspiracy This book is in progress at Podiobooks. I've gotta love a conspiracy-theory, techno thriller where so many of the characters are Christians. Nothing like a bunch o' manly men stopping for a quick prayer before going out to whack the bad guys, right? One e-mail. Five lines. 4,000 dead. And it is only just beginning… When a small boy in Iowa forwards a mysterious email from...

In retrospect, Anne Rice was way ahead of her time. Imagine the fortune she could be making on books and ancillary properties if she were publishing her Vampire Chronicles in the vampire-crazy 21st-century market. Perhaps it’s to her credit that she got vampires out of her system before the glut, but what she’s pumping out these days is enough to make anybody wish she’d hop back on...
