And with today’s emphasis on “universes,” it is no surprise that AMC has picked up Rice’s ready-made world and run with it. It really is quite incredible what she built. Her vampires, witches, wolves, mummies, and more, all live in the same world even if the stories only tangentially touch or are connected by small elements.

The ink is barely dry on their marriage certificate when her hard pursuing husband suddenly becomes cold and distant, off on business more than he’s at home. Her happily ever after doesn’t last long though. She said yes when he asked her to marry him-even though it was only two weeks after they met. ![]() It took one look for Charlee to fall for Rowan.
