following information. I'm quoting directly from her
letters to me here and things within [] are mine.

ANNE RICE VIDEO
It's called "Anne Rice: Birth of the Vampire." It's basically a
biography of Anne, and has interviews with Anne, Stan, Christopher,
and other relatives and friends. It doesn't have anything on the
IWTV movie. You get to see Anne's house and several of the other
New Orleans locations. It was available in stores (I think they
offered it with a paperback copy of IWTV), and was shown on
Lifetime.
[I've been given the info. about two places that sell this video
so I decided to include them both. I don't know if they include
a copy of IWTV though.

GRAPHIC NOVELS
I know for sure that IWTV and TVL were made into 12-part "graphic
novels" by Innovation (I have these). I've heard that QOTD,
The Mummy, and TWH were also made into comics by the same company,
but I haven't seen them myself. I've heard that Innovation went
out of business a while ago, but the comics can still be found
in comic shops. The 12 issues of TVL were also put together into
a book. I bought one the other week; it's called "Anne Rice's
The Vampire Lestat: A Graphic Novel." Based on the novel by
Anne Rice. Adapted and designed by Faye Perozich. Painted by
Daerick Gross. It's softcover, $25, Ballantine Books,
ISBN 0-345-37394-4. I really like these drawings, much better
than the ones for IWTV.
[I've read interviews with Anne in which she is asked about the
Innovation novels and she said that she wasn't too fond of them
as they made her vampires look like effeminate British rock stars.
But you can certainly judge for yourself.]
NEW BOOK OF CRITICISM
It's called "Anne Rice" and it's by Bette B. Roberts of Westfield
State College. New York : Twayne Publishers, 1994. 173 pages.
Hardcover. ISBN 0-8057-3961-0
Still haven't read it, but it looks like it summarizes each of
her works through TOTBT and links them to the Gothic tradition.
