Sing as if no one is listening, dance as if no one is watching…We all know Anne Rice and her Vampire Chronicles right? Lestat seems to be a Fan Girl favorite. (Even if I, for the love of God, cannot tell why.) She even wrote a few other great novels on Predjudice on the Blacks during the Slave Trading era in time and several others.
But how many of us know about her other novels?
Some time ago my brother got me a set, a trilogy rather, of Anne Rice. It was entitled "The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty". I was curious but not all that excited because at the time I had taken too much of my fill of Anne Rice. I had read three of her Vampire Chronicles straight.
But eventually I picked up the first book and opened it. This is an excerp from the first pages of the book.
" In the topmost chamber if the house he found her. He stepped over sleeping chambermaids and valets, and, breathing the dust and damp of the place, he finally stood in the door of her sanctuary.
Her flaxen hair lay long and straight over the deep green velvet of her bed, and her dress in loose folds revealed her rounded breasts and limbs of a young woman..."
Then a few lines later...
"Her face was perfect to him, and her embroidered gown had fallen deep into the crease between her legs so that he could see the shape of ehr sex beneath it."
I have to say that I was thoroughly surprised when I read that. And apparetnly I found in one of my trips to Fully Booked that Mrs. Rice had written a number of these kinds of stories.
