It was great; it was also the first of her books that I read! And yes, apparently, we may see TWH as a miniseries. This was in the Sanctuary News and Updates section:

Anne Rice's 'The Witching Hour' En Route To Cameras

Anne Rice is in negotiations to bring her best-selling "The Witching Hour" novel to the tube as a miniseries.

The author reveals she hopes to get scribe John Wilder, who wrote the screenplay for Showtime's "Anne Rice's The Feast of All Saints" miniseries, to do the script for "The Witching Hour," as well. Rice, who exec-produced "Feast," says Wilder's script for that project turned out to be "the most faithful adaptation of my work I've ever seen. It's even more faithful than the adaptation I did for 'Interview with the Vampire.'" "Feast of All Saints," which airs Nov. 11 and 12, stars Gloria Reuben, Peter Gallagher, Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee, Pam Grier, Eartha Kitt, James Earl Jones, Forest Whitaker and Ben Vereen. The tale, set in the 1840s, is about the free people of color who formed their own class at a time when most blacks were slaves.

Rice's latest novel, "Blood and Gold," is hitting book stores this month. "It's the story of Marius," she says, "one of the older vampires in my 'Vampire Chronicles.' He was made a vampire in ancient Roman times, and it takes him all the way through 2,000 years of existence."

She had planned to head out earlier this month on a tub-thumping tour for "Blood and Gold," but says, "My tour was a casualty of what happened on Sept. 11. We immediately canceled, we were so freaked out. And frankly I don't think the tour would have been possible given the conditions in the airports. It would have been grueling and ultimately counterproductive because I would have gotten worn out. But I'll miss it very badly. I love seeing my readers at the bookstore."
