Publisher Description

The #1 New York Times bestselling author's short story collection-including an all-new Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter story-now in paperback. From a woman who marries into a family of volatile wizards to a couple fleeing a gang of love-hungry cupids, from a girl who seeks sanctuary in the form of a graceful goose to the disgruntled superhero Captain Housework, readers will revel in the many twists and turns of fortune in these fantastical fairy tales and lush parables. Even hardened vampire hunter and zombie animator Anita Blake gets blindsided by the disturbing motives of her clients in the new "Those Who Seek Forgiveness" and in "The Girl Who Was Infatuated with Death."

"I liked this collection of stories by the author I have heard of her and always wanted to read stuff by her, but never actually got the chance so I thought this was a good place to start. Most of the stories really grabbed me and the couple that didnt I still liked just not as much. There is an Anita Blake story which made me excited to start that series since that is in my list of things to read as soon as they get here. I also enjoyed reading the intoroduction although there were a few times she talked about how stories got rejected and that got a little annoying after the first couple."
