LOL about the Anne Rice. I think that is the "light" version cousin to her
"A L Roquelaire" adult novels. There was a very bad movie made with Rosie
O'Donnell & Dan Ackroyd based on Exit to Eden.

Rosie O'Donnell and Dan Ackroyd? I imagine it WAS bad - she is
definitely not the petite blond in a white dress type!

Nah, I think the "blonde" was played by the woman who had a lead in China
Beach. Rosie plays an undercover cop, and IIRC Ackroyd is the socially
maladroit partner. They're posing as "clients" - Rosie gets to wear black
leather, and Ackroyd gets to be whipped, so to speak. It's slightly funny -
but brutally bad at the same time. One of those movies you have to see in
the MST 3000 mode (as in talking, making witty remarks, and imbibing at the
same time).

What a great description of a really rotten movie. All I remember is seeing
Rosie in that outfit and it just aint a pretty sight.

I've read Hoag, I'll pass. So-so writing and the one or two I read had a
paranormal edge/theme. Don't read those, I'll have nightmares
