Fizzy told me Anne Rice died yesterday, from complications of a stroke. All the news mentions her Vampire novels, which of course she was most famous for. But none of them mention her "Beauty" books, which were 3 novels which took the story of Sleeping Beauty into new kinky heights. They (particularly the first two novels) include some of the hottest TTWD scenes I've ever read.

I've heard the audiobooks were narrated by Elizabeth Montgomery (of "Bewitched" fame), who I used to have a crush on. The mind boggles at her reading such incendiary material! Anyway, RIP Ms. Rice...thanks for putting your naughty fantasies out there for all of us to enjoy.
