A tale of two authors

Interesting story on vampire writer Anne Rice and Christian author Howard Storm working together to promote Storm's book, My Descent Into Death: A Second Chance at Life.

"Vampires and angels are very similar," says Rice, who sees nothing strange about the collaboration. "My discussion of vampires has always presented them as sort of the elegant inverse of angels."

Rice says she, like Storm, was a "fashionable atheist" for many years. She re-embraced her Roman Catholic faith in 1998. Storm got religion after excruciating stomach pain landed him in a Paris hospital for emergency surgery in 1985.
