'Prince Lestat' Arrives in October ... Followed by 'Blood Paradise?'

Last night, author Anne Rice provided her fans with another tidbit about her upcoming novel, "Prince Lestat" including a tease to what the title of her next novel may be. Here is a part of what she said on her official Facebook page, "Well, guys, I'm signing off early. I finished the very last copy-edit corrections to 'Prince Lestat' tonight (this is one of the key steps in the production of a finished hardcover book) and I am elated and tired. I am brimming with the ideas and stories which will become the next book of Lestat's new adventures, likely to be entitled 'Blood Paradise.'"

"Blood Paradise"... sounds maliciously delicious! The internet exploded with the news of her newest novel that will be coming out October 28 especially since fans didn't think they'd be see the Brat Prince again. The synopsis for the novel was recently released and confirms that it will take place where "The Vampire Lestat" left off:
