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)
Famous quotes containing the words anne and/or rice:
“There seems to be a kind of order in the universe, in the movement of the stars and the turning of the earth and the changing of the seasons, and even in the cycle of human life. But human life itself is almost pure chaos. Everyone takes his stance, asserts his own rights and feelings, mistaking the motives of others, and his own.”
—Katherine Anne Porter (1890–1980)
“The arbitrary division of one’s life into weeks and days and hours seemed, on the whole, useless. There was but one day for the men, and that was pay day, and one for the women, and that was rent day. As for the children, every day was theirs, just as it should be in every corner of the world.”
—Alice Caldwell Rice (1870–1942)
