anne rice [hearts] the baby jesus - well, the toddler jesus, anyway

From Newsweek

In two weeks, Anne Rice, the chronicler of vampires, witches and—under the pseudonym A. N. Roquelaure—of soft-core S&M encounters, will publish "Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt," a novel about the 7-year-old Jesus, narrated by Christ himself. "I promised," she says, "that from now on I would write only for the Lord."

...

Rice knows "Out of Egypt" and its projected sequels—three, she thinks—could alienate her following; as she writes in the afterword, "I was ready to do violence to my career."

And in book 4 - Lestat turns up, frames Christ, and stabs him on the cross. I mean, hell, that's about as believable as the last couple of her vampire books.

And Anne, honey, you didn't need to do any further violence to your career.

Blame vivaemptiness for spotting this one.
