WTF, over?

Further signs that the End Times are Nigh? This from Newsweek:

In two weeks, Anne Rice, the chronicler of vampires, witches and—under the pseudonym A. N. Roquelaure—of soft-core S&M encounters, will publish "Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt," a novel about the 7-year-old Jesus, narrated by Christ himself. "I promised," she says, "that from now on I would write only for the Lord."

...

Rice knows "Out of Egypt" and its projected sequels—three, she thinks—could alienate her following; as she writes in the afterword, "I was ready to do violence to my career."

Career suicide? Probably not. I'm looking on the bright side. If anyone can find the homoerotic subtext in that particular story, it's Anne.

"I was ready to do violence to my career."

Apparently so. Has she been hitting the bottle again?

Funny, did you ever read those books about the witches? They made me ready to do violence to her career, too.
