"Interview with the Vampire", "Skylight Confessions"

I am re-reading Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice. It is genuinely frightening and creepy--how interesting that now, in the last novels of the Vampire Chronicles Lestat seems tame. I am hoping to read the entire series along with my regular reading.

Other recent reads include: Skylight Confessions by Alice Hoffman, which was a wonderful addition to her body of work. She handles grief, drug addiction, and distant parents with a lighter touch than in her previous novels. At first her characters' traits seem air-brushed on, but as the story progresses, they become richer and fuller. The last chapter will leave you breathless with anticipation, and I found the open ending appropriate and not at all frustrating.

Of course, since my last entry, I've read some more titles--I'll get to those later!
