No. Anne Rice sucks compared to Brian Lumley and H.P. Lovecraft. If you've ever read any book you know that the vampires sit round and whine like girly little bitches. Lumley and Lovecraft on the other hand are two of the premier horror writers around and their vamps are steeped in authentic vampire lore and just diabolical, corrupting badassery. For someone to be into horror, Clairebear(assuming you are because of Rice) and not to know of Lovecraft is more than a bit surprising. It's like a sci fi afficianado going "Heinlein who?"
By the way, if you haven't heard of Heinlein you should read the Door into Summer, Star Ship Troopers, Double Star and The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. Those books are tight reads and beyond savage.
