The Author of all of those books, Anne Rice. She is an amazing author and has such a sence of detail that creates her worlds that her books take to live and exsist in. Anne Rice is known for being able to intertwine the real and supernatural world into amazing books that entertain the readers imensly. Her books are full of many different ideas dealing with all the different angels on religion, philosophy, and history with contrasting characters to show all of her ideas in her books. Her words create a foundation for the thrirty plus novels that she has mastered. Anne Rice is amazing, and in my opinion the BEST author out there.

“People who cease to believe in God or goodness altogether still believe in the devil. I don't know why. No, I do indeed know why. Evil is always possible. And goodness is eternally difficult.”
-Anne Rice

"It was as if the empty nights were made for thinking of him. And sometimes I found myself so vividly aware of him it was as if he had only just left the room and the ring of his voice were still there. And somehow, there was a disturbing comfort in that, and, despite myself, I’d envision his face."
-Anne Rice (Interview With a Vampire)

"And then it was, that grief and pain made themselves known to me as never before. Note this, because I knew the full absurdity of Fate and Fortune and Nature more truly than a human can bear to know it. And perhaps the description of this, brief as it is, may give consolation to another. The worst takes its time to come, and then to pass. The truth is, you cannot prepare anyone for this, nor convey an understanding of it through language. It must be known. And this I would wish on no one in the world."
-Anne Rice (Pandora)

Anne compares her religous and political views with her deep discusions inbetween all the different characters by using details that flow through her words with a fluid  ryhthem. Rice also develops her words with many descriptive  phrases and metaphors. Anne Rice's writing is so immaginative and creative, she is one of my favorite authors.
