Sometimes, there are no words.
Nov. 1st, 2005 11:52 pmFrom the June 2005 issue of Locus Magazine:
"Anne Rice has turned her attention from vampires and witches to a different sort of supernatural protagonist: Jesus Christ. Her new book, Christ the Lord, is set in 1st-century Palestine and begins when Jesus is seven years old. This fictional biography, based on Biblical scholarship, covers the portion of Christ's life that is not addressed in the Gospels. Rice thinks her old fans will follow her in this new direction: "They like supernatural heroes, and Jesus is one. They like outsiders, and he is one. I hope and pray they'll see the continuity, and they'll like it." Christ the Lord will be published in November 2005."
