Blood Lite is an anthology of short stories from some of today's most prominent horror writers. The stories in Blood Lite all have a dark humor edge to them which I think makes them more enjoyable than just pure horror. Some of the stories were really good but some were just okay. That's pretty typical of the anthologies I've read. My favorite stories in the book were "Day Off" by Jim Butcher (I'm a huge Dresden Files fan), "Hell in a Handbasket" by Lucien Soulban, "Elvis Presley and the Bloodsucker Blues" by Matt Venne, and "Dear Prudence" by Steven Savile. I was really looking forward to Charlaine Harris' contribution since I like her other work, but I was a bit disappointed with it.

I was looking forward to Charlaine's story.. was it that bad?! Is it Sookie related? I was really looking forward to reading this book!
It's not Sookie related at all. It's not bad. It's okay. I was just expecting a lot more from her.
Cool, that looks good. :)
I might just read it for the Jim Butcher story when I feel up to it since it's not Sookie related I'm in no hurry :)
BTW, I got an award for you waiting, please come pick it up :)
