安妮•赖斯(Anne Rice，1941—) 吸血鬼之母，哥特文学女王，吸血鬼家族在世间的代言人，她以一己之力复活了哥特文学类型，并将之推到了主流文学世界。同时，她也是美国基督教文学、恐怖与情欲小说的桂冠作家。其作品全球总销量超过1亿册，让她成为美国历史上最受欢迎的作家之一。 赖斯的作品以其华丽、充满感性的散文风格著称，并加入了大量形而上的哲学思辨。小说的主题多为历史背景下人的离群索居及对自我的追求，小说中的人物总是苦苦追求自我、追求美好，却始终被社会排斥在外。《狼的恩赐》是继《夜访吸血鬼》后，安妮•赖斯对哥特文化的再一次大胆探索，是对狼人故事的重新定义，也是对生命本质与爱欲的探讨。 想了解更多关于安妮•赖斯的信息，可关注她的官方网站：http://www.annerice.com/
