Anne Rice Speaks Out

[ls317]

(CNN) -- Anne Rice's novels, including "Interview With the Vampire" and "The Queen of the Damned," are a stew of horror, overt eroticism and lush, atmospheric settings -- often located in her hometown of New Orleans.

But nothing can compare to the real-life misery being faced by the Crescent City and its residents today, she told CNN's Paula Zahn.

"It is a cataclysm. It's something like the destruction of the city of Pompeii," she said in an interview to air Friday night on "Paula Zahn Now."
