TRANSFER 21 - THE LITERARY MAGAZINE OF SAN FRANCISCO STATE COLLEGE [now San Francisco State University], Spring 1966, Number 21.
Includes student ANNE RICE'S SECOND PUBLISHED STORY (the first with Counts, Bats, and mysterious, drippy, dark surroundings). Also contains poems by STAN RICE, Anne Rice's husband. And to top it off, there is an insert with a poem by the author THOMAS SANCHEZ.
The story by SFSU student ANNE O'BRIEN RICE is titled "NICHOLAS AND JEAN". It is subtitled "Chapter One of a Nouvella" (sic). This is Anne Rice's second published work, the first having been published in Transfer #19. "Nicholas and Jean" is, however, Anne Rice's first work with the eerie sensibilities of "Interview with the Vampire", and her other Vampire novels. "Interview with a Vampire" was published in 1976, ten years after the publication of this story / chapter one of a novella.
Anne Rice's "Nicholas and Jean" is 7 pages long (pages 3-9). Stan Rice has 3 poems in the issue, and Thomas Sanchez has two poems, one which is on an insert.
Printed paper covers, side stapled, 5.5x8.5 inches, 48 pages.
GOOD condition: The wrappers have pulled from the staples at the front fold but are holding on at the back fold, otherwise bright, clean, clear and unmarked. A nice, presentable copy.
Rare look at Anne Rice's early drift towards Vampires and Vampirism.
