The American novelist has not been able to overcome the complications derived from a stroke
The writer Anne Rice, author of the literary series ‘Vampire Chronicles’, died this Sunday at the age of 80 in a hospital after not overcoming the complications derived from a stroke, as reported by her family on social networks.
Rice (New Orleans, 1941), whose real name is Howard Allen O’Brien, has sold more than one hundred million copies worldwide. His work includes’ Vampire Chronicles’ -which include the books’ Interview with the vampire ‘and’ Lestat the vampire’-, ‘The Mayfair witches’, and’ New vampire stories’, among the almost 30 books that he wrote. .
In 2009, the writer published the first novel in the ‘Angelic Chronicles’ saga titled ‘Angel’s Hour’, a metaphysical ‘thriller’ about angels and murderers. Three years later, he changed the register with the book ‘El Don del Lobo’, in which a young reporter is attacked by a beast that cannot distinguish between the darkness of night.
In addition, Rice produced a reinterpretation of the gospels in his series ‘The Messiah: The Jewish Child’, a novel based on the life of Jesus, after publicly declaring in 1998 his conversion to Christianity after years defending atheism.
