The last good vampire fiction writer before Stephanie Meyer and the Twilight series killed it.
RIP.
Seriously. Meyer is a lousy hack compared to Rice.
RIP, now I’m gonna go eat some rice puffs in her honor.
Omg, she had a name like Clayton Debra Susan Forrester!
Turns out she was named after her dad.
From Wikipedia:
That still doesn’t explain where “Rice” came from, though.
Maybe she had the same fondness for it as Mike? “AAAAHH!!! EXTREEEEEEEEMMME… RIIIIIIIIIIICCCE!!!”
Oh, Rice is her husband’s name. Didn’t realize she was married.
And that’s enough of me filling up this comment section. >_>
