Anne Rice Novels?

Question

First, I must admit to loving her work almost abundantly. I have read all of the Vampire Chronicles up to The Blackwood Farm (which I am currently reading) and soon thinking about moving on to her last novel in the chronicle. I have read some reviews and I am certainly not loving them;in fact I am horrified.
The reviews make it seem as if her skill died out and there is no more of Anne Rice to be found in that last book. Since I cannt live without books, or without knowing exactly what I'm going to read next, I must as for some assisstance.
Would Anne Rice fans reccomand Blood Canticle, or would it be ok to just skip her last "chapter" Should I try her other works? I gave The Witching Hour a try and I hated it. I am also interested in her Sleeping Beauty series, but don't know if it's worth it.
Now, for the grand question. Should I just move on to another author after The blackwood farm? What other authors would you reccomand to a die-hard Anne Rice Fan?

Answer 1

Read Blood Canticle next! Screw the critics and just read what you want!

Answer 2

Okay. I used to be a huge Anne Rice fan. I actually liked The Witching Hour. I love Memnoch the Devil.

I think you should read One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Completely different than Anne Rice but you will love it.

Answer 3

I definitely have study all of Anne Rice's artwork, which incorporate the textile written as A.N. Rocquelaure, different than the Jesus books. there's a woman character interior the later books, a Creole female, named Merrick, who's the two a witch and a vampire. i think of she's my own customary.
