is available for purchase through Amazon.Com. The fifth volume of Rice's Vampire Chronicles is one of her most controversial books. The tale begins in New York, where Lestat, the coolest of Rice's vampire heroes, is stalking a big-time cocaine dealer and religious-art smuggler--this guy should get it in the neck. Lestat is also growing fascinated with the dealer's lovely daughter, a TV evangelist who's not a fraud. Lestat is also being stalked himself, by some shadowy guy who turns out to be Memnoch, the devil, who spirits him away. From here on, the book might have been called Interview with the Devil (by a Vampire). It's a rousing story interrupted by a long debate with the devil. Memnoch isn't the devil as ordinarily conceived: he got the boot from God because he objected to God's heartless indifference to human misery. Memnoch takes Lestat to heaven, hell, and throughout history. Some readers are appalled by the scene in which Lestat sinks his fangs into the throat of Christ on the cross, but the scene is not a mere shock tactic: Jesus is giving Lestat a bloody taste in order to win him over to God's side, and Rice is dead serious about the battle for his soul. Rice is really doing what she did as a devout young Catholic girl asked to imagine in detail what Christ's suffering felt like--it's just that her imagination ran away with her. |

Radiant
Inventory by Christopher Dewdney "The simplest words can yield some of the most beautiful poetry. Dewdney is 'the moral wreck/ of a fine intelligence.'" - kahtt, 7/3/99 |

Thawed
Stars by Alice Pero is available now for purchase through Amazon.Com. "Thawed Stars" is a metaphor for our belief that we do not shine. We are "stars," we are full of bright permanent light, yet we darken and drip. We must tone ourselves down lest someone cut us down. I quote from the title poem, "We must placate, placate/A world of men wearing sunglasses." As a poet I must dare to shine, to jump out of my skin and sing for you. The author, Alice Pero, pero@earthlink.net, May 23, 1999 |

Fiction Writing |

"John Gardner was famous for his generosity to young writers, and (this book) is his ... gift to them. The Art of Fiction will fascinate anyone interested in how fiction gets put together. For the young writer, it will become a necessary handbook, a stern judge, an encouraging friend."--The New York Times Book Review. |
