About this eBook
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.
Plus twenty-six other tales to tempt and terrorize you. . . .

About half the "stories" in here are barely worthy of the name. They are a scant few pages long and seem to be a ham handed presentation of an idea the author had but couldn't flesh out into a tale. One story is just the licence agreement for soul stealing software. Not worth buying. If you, like me, just wanted to read the Jim Butcher story wait for his Brief Cases anthology and avoid this pile of garbage.
