Legendary author Anne Rice, who’s best known for her classic “ Interview With a Vampire,” recently revealed that she will release a video book. Rice, has agreed to terms with video book company Vook on a multimedia edition of “The Master of Rampling Gate,” a vampire story previously published in 1984 set in an England mansion in the 19th century.
“Vook represents a very exciting combination of new technological elements, that I think is long overdo in publishing,” Rice said in a statement released Wednesday. “I’m excited that `The Master of Rampling Gate’ is going to have new life in this form, and cannot wait to see the finished product. I’m not sure that my mind can conceive of all the possibilities of this new form. I’m learning. And it feels good.”
The project begins “a strategic publishing relationship” with Rice’s literary agency, Janklow & Nesbit Associates, according to Vook. No other specific writers were identified, but clients at Janklow & Nesbit include David McCullough, Edward P. Jones and the late Michael Crichton.
The video book for “The Master of Rampling Gate,” which includes an author interview, will be released March 1 and can be purchased through the iPhone, iPod touch and other digital devices for $6.99. What do you think?
