Anne Rice says her protagonists always reflected her own spiritual unease and she is now ready to give her readers the adventures of the ultimate supernatural hero. Yes, Anne Rice’s newest Lestat is none other than Jesus Christ Superstar. Taking some of her inspiration from the Apocrypha, she chronicles the life of the young messiah at age seven. The name of the new book, Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt, sounds like the title of an 80’s action film sequel. I suppose, looked at just right i.e. inappropriately, the Christian Lord and Savior is the vampire who has had the profoundest impact on the world. (via Newsweek)
