Sink your teeth into a smorgasbord of macabre morsels laced with horrific humor in this all-new Blood Lite collection! 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.

Anthologies are hard to review. Period. I got this one for the Kelley Armstrong short and it did not disappoint. Easily the best in the book. The shorts in this ranged from excellent, to "interesting," to umm....okay, to huh?, and "this is dumb, I'm not reading this one."
I only read four of the short stories. I really liked the Harry Dresden story and the Kelley Armstrong one with Nick, Noah, and Reese.(5 stars for both)
Only read the Butcher story, wasn't interested in the rest of the stories. Butcher's Dresden Files story was good.
