Book Description

May 29, 2012
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. . . .

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyed it a lot September 4, 2012
By GS
Format:Kindle Edition
This book was a really quick read. I love me some short story collections from time to time because they make it easier to take a break after a story or two. I got "Blood Lite 3: Aftertaste" mainly because of Jim Butcher's short story "I Was A Teenage Bigfoot". I'm not familiar with any work by the other authors but I will look into some a bit more now.

What can I say? This book had everything: a sick Bigfoot in school; two old guys playing golf in the middle of a zombie apocalypse; zombie lawyers; a redneck taxidermist; a zombie, a skeleton, a werewolf and a vampire at a beauty salon where a new manicurist just got hired; the supernatural world uniting against alien invaders; a demon's first visit to our world; a documentary about the four horsemen going on tour; a steeple factory from hell...and so on. The ideas for most stories were pretty brilliant and original.

A few stories left me confused about what was going on: "Mint in Box", "Let that be a Lesson to you", "Dating after the apocalypse" and "Brians". I'm not saying they were bad, just that I didn't get it. Maybe it was the writing or maybe it was just me being dense (yeah I do have such days).

Some stories made me laugh: "Blood-Red Greens", "Nine Tenths of the Law", "Scrumptious Bone Bread" to name a few here.

One story creeped me out: "Put on a Happy Face" because it had clowns in it, and clowns creep me out. Not saying that's a bad thing.

"Still Life" was the shortest story and it took me a second to understand it. Yeah, dense, I know.

I can't decide which story was my favorite: "Making the Cut" or "The Last Demon". For both stories I loved the idea, the writing, the characters, simply everything.

All in all I would recommend this book to everyone who likes macabre humour. I definitely had fun reading it, and think it's an overall good anthology.

I'll be honest, I only bought this book to read the Dresden Files short story, but it turns out some of the others aren't bad.

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid Collection Worth the Money June 2, 2012
By Lauren
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Good, but overall the reason I bought this was for Jim Butcher's short story. It was much shorter than is normal for his stories, so I confess I'm a little disappointed. But ultimately this is a solid collection and worth the money.

Like others here, I bought this for the Dresden story, and I was disappointed. People who like zombies might like it better than I did. Read more

Never was much for short stories, but learned to love them again due to collections like this. Not going to be so dismissive the next time.
