Author Anne Rice died of complications from a stroke on Sunday, December 11. She was 80.
Rice first came to prominence in 1976 when her debut novel, Interview with a Vampire became a huge bestseller. In its review from March 1976, PW called the book "extraordinary," "macabre," "eerie," and "spellbinding," and noted it "as compelling as it is outrageous."
