Human: What is the name of the trilogy that Anne Rice wrote? Assistant: 
The trilogy was a commercial success and gained a significant cult following. Anne Rice was able to secure the publishing contract for her next erotic novel "Exit to Eden" (1985) with an advance of US$35,000 from Arbor House. There have been allegations that Rice is a dominatrix in real life since the trilogy deals with the BDSM practice so exclusively, but her husband Stan Rice replied that "she's no more sadomasochistic than she's a vampire".
