The Killing Dance
These days my life is a cross between preternatural soap opera and an action-adventure movie
The first hit man came after me at home, which should be against the rules. Then there was a second, and a third. Word on the street was that Anita Blake, preternatural expert and vampire killer extraordinaire, was worth half a million dollars. Dead not alive.
So what’s a girl to do but turn to the men in her life for help? Which in my case means an alpha werewolf and a master vampire. With professional killers on your trail, it’s not a bad idea to have as much protection as possible, human or otherwise.
But I’m beginning to wonder if two monsters are better than one…

Bloody Bones
When monsters are involved, it’s never just one dead body. One way or another the dead multiply
First there were the dead in the graveyard, two hundred years dead. I’d been hired to raise them to settle a dispute over who owned the land they were buried in.
Then there were the three dead teenagers in the woods, slaughtered in a way I’d never seen before.
And then they found the dead girl, drained of blood and left in her bed. I knew what that meant of course. It didn’t take a degree in preternatural studies to figure out that something was wrong. And I was right in the middle of it. My name is Anita Blake. Welcome to my life ...

The Lunatic Cafe
You don’t volunteer for slugfests with vampires. It shortens your life expectancy
And you don’t fall in love with a werewolf. It interferes with your work. Especially when you’re a preternatural expert, like me. My business brings me up close and personal with all shapes and sizes of monsters. And not all of them want to kill me.
Take, for instance. the local pack of lycanthropes – they’re werewolves to you. A number of them are missing, and they've come to me for help. Maybe because I'm dating the leader of the pack. I've survived a lot - from jealous vampires to killer zombies - but this love thing may kill me yet.

Circus Of The Damned
Most women complain that there are no single, straight men left. I’d just like to meet one –that’s human.
I'm Anita Blake, expert on creatures of the night. I've dined with shapeshifters, danced with werewolves, and been wooed - but not won - by the Master Vampire of the City.
And now a darkly dangerous vampire named Alejandro has hit town. He too wants me for his human servant. A war of the undead has begun. Over me.
I would be flattered. If my life weren't at stake.

The Laughing Corpse
An Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter novel
The older the zombie, the bigger the death needed to raise it.
After a few centuries, the only death ‘big enough’ is a human sacrifice. I know, because I'm an animator. My name is Anita Blake.
Working for Animators, Inc. is just a job - like selling insurance. But all the money in the world wasn’t enough for me to take on the particular job Harold Gaynor was offering.
Somebody else did, though - a rogue animator. Now he's not just raising the dead ... he’s raising Hell. And it's up to me to stop it.
