Anne Rice, who is best known to the general public as the author of novels about vampires and witches, re-examines her own relationship to the connection between theology and the paranormal in her new novel. The novel The Time of Angels focuses on the main character's inner struggle that includes questioning morality and the search for redemption and salvation. The novel was influenced by the author's personal views on Catholicism, and The Time of Angels is largely a strong biblical allegory. However, fans of her vampire chronicles will also be able to sink their teeth into this story, as it is a characteristic Rice's way of storytelling, imbued with a harrowing and disturbing atmosphere that creates an impression of eerie silence between the lines.
