I created this blog to share what I’m learning in my research on Anne Rice, which I began in 2025.

This blog is meant to be a source of accurate, cited, unbiased info about Anne Rice, her work, and her legacy. I hope to discuss directly and honestly the wonderful and the uncomfortable parts of Rice’s story.

I look forward to sharing with you all Rice’s frankly wild life story. :)

Please feel free to send asks or DMs with whatever you want to share about her life, or about how her work has impacted yours!
