text The Mammoth Book of Vampire Stories by Women

While it won't win any awards for cover design, most of the stories in this doorstopper are pretty strong, with some inevitable misses. The much anthologized (and classic) "Luella Miller" and "Good Lady Ducayne" are here, and Connie Willis's "Jack" is always a pleasure to read. Tanya Huff, Chelsea Q...

I got this book for the Kelley Armstrong and Charlaine Harris stories. These are the best in the book. The rest? Oh hum.

text Blood Lite: An Anthology of Humorous Horror Stories Presented by the Horror Writers Association

This anthology was an attempt at horror related humor, emphasis on attempt. Largely the short stories were crude, immature, predictable and worthless.

This collection is supposed to be funny.It's not.Not even the Dresden story is funny. In fact, the Dresden story feels like Butcher wrote it in an hour. It involes a funny idea, werewolves with fleas, but all the women are topless. Okay, not all. And, I have to admit Harry playing D&D is funny, ...

text Blood Lite: An Anthology of Humorous Horror Stories Presented by the Horror Writers Association

22 authors come together to write some humorous paranormal short stories. For me there weren't many laugh out loud moments, but some disturbing moments, maybe. Some of my favorites were:THE BESTKELLEY ARMSTRONG - THE UNGRATEFUL DEADThis one inspired me to add a character to a book I am writing. I ju...

Most of the stories in the book are okay. My favorite, however, wasMichelle West's retelling of Beauty and the Beast with a good dose of O. Henry. But overall, the collection was disappointing. The stories were either too predictable or too boring. West's one was very good, so go to the library ...

This is theoretically an anthology of humorous fantasy/urban fantasy stories. I don't know that I found most of them to be more humorous than stories in another fantasy anthology but there were still some good stories. I enjoyed the one about Satan's bell, particularly the ending, and I enjoyed Ji...
