Title: Called Out of Darkness: A Spiritual Confession
Author: by Anne Rice
Publisher: Alfred A. Knopf
Pages: 256
Price: $23.95
In a nutshell: Anne Rice, best known for her series of books on vampires, has renounced atheism and returned to her spiritual roots in the Roman Catholic Church, and this memoir recounts her journey.
She was 57 when she left vampires behind and in humility dedicated the remainder of her life and writing to Jesus Christ. Although Rice, now 67, was originally inspired by the writings of Charles Dickens and Charlotte Bronte, her style has become greatly simplified in this memoir.
She intends it as an everyone book that can appeal to people from all walks of life. Rice also writes in a way that is dominated by sincerity. She is especially grateful that she was born and bred in New Orleans, because she could easily walk to nine different Catholic churches.
