Endorsement By Anne Rice
In a 2002 recommendation on her website, widely read author Anne Rice called Storm's story "absolutely incredible" and called Storm a mystic. My Descent into Death was first published in Great Britain and was not readily available in the U.S. Rice saw Storm on a television show where he asked for help in finding an American publisher. She helped arrange for the book to be acquired by Doubleday and re-published as a hardback. Rice stated that the process moved quickly, "as though angels were kicking open doors. ... I'll do anything to help get his book to the public, because he has something important to give people." Rice wrote the foreword for the new edition:
Make no mistake: this man's a mystic. This is a book that fulfills a calling. This is a book you can devour from cover to cover, and pass on to others. This is a book you will quote in your daily conversation. Storm was meant to write it and we were meant to read it.Read more about this topic: Howard Storm (author)

“I do not want to be covetous, but I think I speak the minds of many a wife and mother when I say I would willingly work as hard as possible all day and all night, if I might be sure of a small profit, but have worked hard for twenty-five years and have never known what it was to receive a financial compensation and to have what was really my own.”
—Emma Watrous, U.S. inventor. As quoted in Feminine Ingenuity, ch. 8, by Anne L. MacDonald (1992)
“To become a celebrity is to become a brand name. There is Ivory Soap, Rice Krispies, and Philip Roth. Ivory is the soap that floats; Rice Krispies the breakfast cereal that goes snap-crackle-pop; Philip Roth the Jew who masturbates with a piece of liver.”
—Philip Roth (b. 1933)
