It appears that Anne Rice will be releasing a new book in October of this year. However, different from her most recent works, this particular novel is not a part of her "Christ the Lord" series.
I'm intrigued by just what the subject matter of this new novel is. Is she returning our vampires to us in a new Catholic light? Is she introducing us to someone new?
My sources for this information come from Anne's own official website (as it always does). Here is what she had to say about this new novel:
"In keeping with my commitment to do Christian fiction in a variety of forms, I am developing a new series called Songs of the Seraphim. The first of these metaphysical thrillers, Angel Time, will be coming in October 2009. The second has already been written and the third is underway. I'm hoping for a long life for the series with many adventures for its hero. I continue to work on Christ the Lord, the Kingdom of Heaven, the third book in the Christ the Lord series."
And a review posted beneath it:
"Time travel, ultraviolence and medieval madness—divine intervention rendered fantastically by Rice... With two marvelous reimaginings of the Gospels and a spiritual autobiography recently extending her range, Rice revisits the shadows of her vampire classics; now, however, with her return to Catholicism, her sinners vie for redemption... Angelically inspiring. Devilishly clever."
