Anne Rice on Twilight

She was the queen of the vampire novels through her Vampire Chronicles. But it has been years since Anne Rice gave up writing vampire novels but her influence is still there. In a new interview with Wall Street Journal, Anne talked a bit about Twilight.

Have you read any of Stephenie Meyer’s books?

No, I haven’t read any of the Twilight series, but I did see the film. I felt that it reflected the deep desire of young women to have the mystery and protection and wisdom of older men.  I think many girls mature much earlier than boys, and they are frustrated when they approach young boys for love or protection.  Hence the fantasy of a wise and protective vampire coming into the life of a young girl who, of course, appreciates him in a special way.
