Anne Rice on Angels, Vampires and Religion from The Takeaway: Early Edition by feedback@thetakeaway.org (Public Radio International and WNYC Radio)

Thirty years ago, Anne Rice exploded onto the literary scene with her gothic novel “Interview with the Vampire.” Since then, she’s sold over 100 million copies of her books and explored not just vampires, but also witches and the life of Christ. Her newest book, out today, is called “Of Love and Evil.” It’s the second book in her “Songs of Seraphim” trilogy, and it follows the saga of a former government assassin and an angel as they travel back to 15th century Rome to unravel the mystery of a poisoning. Rice joins us from Washington DC, where she’s currently on the road.
