Nearly two million Anita Blake novels in print.
The early Anita Blake novels find new life in trade paperback-as perfect collectibles for long-time fans or as fantastic ways for new readers to sink their teeth into the series.

Harold Gaynor offers Anita Blake a million dollars to raise a 300-year-ancient zombie. Knowing it means a human sacrifice will be necessary, Anita turns him down. But when dead bodies start turning up, she realizes that a name else has raised Harold’s zombie–and that the zombie is a killer. Anita pits her power against the zombie and the voodoo priestess who controls it. Notice to Hollywood: forget Buffy the Vampire Slayer; Anita Blake is the real thing.

Sorry to say this book is racist, classist and displays religious bigotry. The villain is a “voodoo queen” who raises zombies and Anita’s personal religious bent casts Dominga Salvador and her African originated religious beliefs as immediately suspect and evil. It was irresponsible to write this lacking a spectacle of the excellent side of Santeria, Candomble, Macumba, worship of Ocha or the Orisha or the Saints.
The plot was stronger than additional books in series because it wsn’t laden with as many characters as the rest of teh books became so that focus stayed on the crime plot. Which was excellent, remarkable even for a Hamilton book in many ways. Anita never so much of solves a crime as she just shoots the right folks at the right time. This book really has a thread of might to it but the racism and one-sided views of God through Catholicism weakens it. I’m reading it thinking to myself Anita raise steh dead, sleeps with a werewolf and a vampire and is JUDGING a name. Laughable. If this books were a small stronger, it could attain the level of dreck.

Second book in the series. Need I say more? Just buy it already! After all, who could resist Jean-Claude? ;D (See I told you this was an addictive series!
)

I selected up this, thinking that it was going to be at least half as decent as everyone said it is. I was bitterly disappointed. Not only is the style of Hamilton’s writing irritating and medicore, it is horrible. I establish all of Hamilton’s characters annoying and fake, besides that she had way to many “main” characters.
The storyline was dreadful and did not flow well. A perfect and total waste of time. Read something else. ANYTHING else!! This is terrible.
Thank you!

The laughing corpse is a dodgy club in a dodgy city.
A dodgy guy offers Anita a lot of cash to do a dodgy job. This job is to raise the dead in a way that is a no-no. She refuses, but a name else does it.
Then the dead bodies start turning up, and the police and Anita have to investigate. She still has human friends at the time, too.

Anita Blake novels are one of my favorite series. I can’t place them down and usually end the book in a day or two. I would definetly advise anyone to read guilty pleasures before laughing corpse considering its a series and you may be a small confused by the references but the book is fantastic and Ilook forwards to reading may more.
