Hearken To The Life Changing Philosophy Of The Vampire Chronicles!

I love the Vampire Chronicles! Love, love, love, love, love. Love. A lot of people say that the works changed their lives. I agree. I am one of those people. Anne Rice is a very deep thinker. I am a very deep thinker and I found these works at a time in my life when my mind was just beginning to break out of the "box" of conformity to independent thought, and not just any independent thought but of the deeper meanings and things of it all. Yes, it all. I knew that there was something more than what I'd just been taught. Something more than the school books, the expanding lists of literature that I had been exposed to from the public view. I knew that there had to be a much more vast, creative, and expansive world yet to be discovered, that there was further depths of mind and soul. That we weren't the very limited beings that was touted as a mantra in daily life. Yes, there was. I had begun to find that world.

The series had truly adopted the lengths of exploring freedom and its connotations. The characters display a wide range of thought and freedoms, breaking the chains of all "norms" that society might impose upon them (us.) Mrs. Rice said in a 2008 interview that the vampires she created were a metaphor for lost souls. Indeed, we all are lost at some point and maybe in that "lostness" the very freedoms that we seek are found and these are displayed in her vast array of characters. Perhaps one of the mysteries surrounding The Vampire Chronicles is that the hardest thing that we will face in life, outside of loss, is finding the courage to be ourselves which is one of the main running themes of true literary writers that have withstood the test of time. Mrs. Rice is proving to be one of those who passes that test.
