Vampire novelist Rice (4)
I believe the answer is:
anne
'vampire novelist rice' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for anne that I've seen before include "Queen's name" , "- - of Cleves" , "- of Green Gables (children's classic)" , "23's sister" , "First queen of Great Britain and Ireland" .)
