Vampires: From Vlad Drakul to the Vampire Lestat by Anna Szigethy

See cover.

Night Pleasures (Dark-Hunter, Book 2) by Sherrilyn Kenyon

Quote from page 8:
If Amanda rolled her eyes any harder into her head, she'd go blind from it. "One day, you guys are going to inadvertently kill a human being acting this way. Remember that time you attacked the Anne Rice-Lestat reenactment group in the cemetery?"

Eric smirked at her. "No one was hurt, and the tourists loved it."

Night Embrace (Dark-Hunter, Book 3) by Sherrilyn Kenyon

Quote from page 39:
"You know, when you live in New Orleans, you expect to meet the undead or damned at least once in awhile." She loked back at Sunshine. "You think we should move? Maybe if we lived over by Anne Rice we might catch sight of a vampire or werewolf."

Kiss the Girls (Alex Cross) by James Patterson

Quote from page 327:
His face was unconcerned, almost serence. A day in the park for the vampire Lestat. I wondered if he might be high on some kind of drug.

The Partly Cloudy Patriot by Sarah Vowell

Quote from page 125 (Chapter: 'Tom Cruise Makes me Nervous')
During the three-plus hours I sat in the dark watching Paul Thomas Anderson's ensmeble epic Magnolia, I found myself wanting something I'd never wanted before. More Tom Cruise. As a white, middle-class American moviegoer who graduated from high school during the Reagan administration and subscribes to more than one cable film channel, I've seen every film Tom Cruise ever made, some many more than once, without even trying. Like Tom Petty or a Jim Lehrer, Cruise falls into that category of competent if ubiquitouis public figures that have never won my love or hate and therefore never truly caught my eye. Except for his memorably baroque turn as Lestat in Interview with the Vampire, which I, like the rest of the country, blame on his curdled blond hair.

Blood Memory: A Novel by Greg Iles

Quote from page 154:
The media's amping up. Story's going national. Some cops have started calling this guy the Vampire Lestat."
"Tell me you're kidding, " I mutter, wishing I'd left a bottle of water by the bed.
Sean laughs darkly. "Hey, this is New Orleans. And it fits, if you think about it. No witnesses, no forced entry, affluent male victims, teeth marks everywhere."

Murder Makes Waves (Southern Sisters Mysteries) by Anne George

Quote from page 92:
"Vampires?"
Haley and I both looked at Frances.
"Vampires, Frances?"
"You're right. This is the Florida panhandle, not New Orleans." She reached for a beer from the cooler.
I turned over the book she was reading and looked at the cover. Anne Rice.

An Affinity for Murder (A Lake George Mystery) by Anne White

Quote from page 31:
Diane had followed Jack into the bar, looking like a character in an Anne Rice novel who'd been drained of her life blood."

Bite Me If You Can (Argeneau Vampires, Book 6) by Lynsay Sands

Quote from page 102:
She couldn't imagine biting anyone, and briefly considered she might, instead, be reduced to biting someone's little fluffy white dog like the character in the Anne Rice movie, but she couldn't imagine doing that either. Dogs are so cute...and what if they had fleas?

Windows Vista All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech)) by Woody Leonhard

Quote from page 64:
The Welcome Center springs back to life, like an Anne Rice character.

Dead Until Dark (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 1) by Charlaine Harris

Quote from page 1:
But rural northern Louisiana wasn't too tempting to vampires, apparently; on the other hand, New Orleans was a real center for them-the whole Anne Rice thing, right?

Many Bloody Returns by Charlaine Harris and Toni L. P. Kelner

Quote from page 4:
"So Stroker didn't just dream the whole thing up based on folktales?"
"Just parts of it. Obviously, he didn't know alot about what Dracula, as he called him, really could or couldn't do, but he was excited at meeting the prince that he made up alot of details he thought would give the story zing. It was just like Anne Rice meeting Louis: an early Interview with the Vampire. Dracula really wasn't too happy afterwards that Stroker caught him at a week moment, but he did enjoy the name recognition."

The Girlfriends' Guide to Surviving the First Year of Motherhood by Vicki Iovine

Quote from page 43:
With the red eyeballs and the general swelling and bruising, she looked just like some friend of Lestat.

Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs: A Low Culture Manifesto by Chuck Klosterman

Quote from page 24:
Up until my discussion with Wright, I had assumed individual Sims could not be killed; I thought they were doomed vampires from Anne Rice novels, forced to exist eternally in a world they did not create.

John Dies at the End by David Wong

Quote from page 191:
"Good. Anyway, Amy is missing and the scene is weird as shit. The situation has a real Lovecraft feel to it. Though, you know, if you come over it'll be more of an Anne Rice situation. If you know what I mean."
"Who's-"
"Because you're gay."
"Who's missing, John?"

Desperation by Stephen King

Quote from page 160:
Johnny observed the thin stream of blood drizzling from it without surprise. The cop was bleeding from every other orifice, wasn't he?
"Speaking of in the lit'ry sense," the cop said, grinning, "this particular blowjob is going to be a little more Anne Rice than Armistead Maupin."

Photoshop Elements 5: The Missing Manual by Barbara Brundage

Quote from page 95:
Everyone who's ever taken a flash photo has run into the dreaded problem of red eye-those glowing, demonic pupils that make your little cherub look like someone out of a Anne Rice novel.
