The Vampire Wars... Rice versus Meyer!

Oooh... the internet and twitter has been a buzz lately because our old favorite author on vampires is now starting a fight with our current favorite author on vampires!

Yes! Yes!  It seems that Ms. Rice started to do some mudslinging using her characters from her book to deride the characters of Meyer's books!  On her facebook page, Ms. Rice posted a loaded question linking to an article of a North Dakota student:

 And then there is this other really pressing issue: should vampires sparkle? Think before you speak! This is probably the most important issue facing our time!!! (I have a suspicion that Louis, Lestat and Armand will refuse to discuss this. But then you know how contrary and difficult they can be.)...

 She then continued on to site what would her characters think of the vampires in Twilight:

Lestat and Louie feel sorry for vampires that sparkle in the sun. They would never hurt immortals who choose to spend eternity going to high school over and over again in a small town —— anymore than they would hurt the physically disabled or the mentally challenged. My vampires possess gravitas. They can afford to be merciful.

Oh Snap!!!  That has got to twinge even just a little...

Let the Vampire Wars via their authors begin...

mumbling my glee to the closest to a vampire war we will ever get..
