Blood Lite III: Aftertaste

Front Cover
Kevin J. Anderson
Simon and Schuster, May 29, 2012 - Fiction - 528 pages
This darkly humorous follow-up to the national bestselling anthology from the Horror Writers Association is a heart-pounding collection of stories from acclaimed authors like Heather Graham, Kelley Armstrong, Jim Butcher, and many more.

Sink your teeth into a smorgasbord of macabre morsels laced with horrific humor in this third Blood Lite anthology! Whether you shriek with laughter or scream in fear…well, that’s simply a matter of taste.

Jim Butcher’s wizardly PI Harry Dresden pranks some high-tech monster seekers—and attempts to save a friend’s son whose life-energy is slowly being drained by an unknown adversary in “I Was a Teenage Bigfoot.” The Author from Hell has dropped dead, but a stressed-out editor is harassed by her emails from beyond the grave in Sherrilyn Kenyon’s “A Day in the Life.” The flesh is weak—and possibly even rotting—as a teenage virgin werewolf discovers on a visit to a brothel in Kelley Armstrong’s “V Plates.” Murder comes alive in “Mannequin,” by Heather Graham, as two thrill-seeking couples “axe” for trouble at a B&B with a bloody history.

Featuring thirty unforgettable stories, this anthology continues to put the fun back into dark fiction.
