NHPR and The Music Hall present Writers on a New England Stage with author Anne Rice who reinvented a genre when she published Interview with the Vampire nearly 40 years ago. Subsequent novels presented undead characters who experienced love, grief, and longing. Principal among them -- the elegant Lestat de Lioncourt, who re-emerges in Prince Lestat, Rice’s first Vampire Chronicles book in 11 years. In 30 best-selling books, Rice has covered erotica, werewolves, the life of Jesus Christ, and now, century-old vampires adapting to the digital age.
