Fantastic news, everybody!

After being in the first Blood Lite books, and having written "Dick, and Larry Too," the stand-alone sequel to my BL2 story about a couple lovable idiots hunting Bigfoot's ghost...



...I am now in the third Blood Lite--Aftertaste!

Now that we’re in production with Blood Lite 3: Aftertaste, I can release the full contents of the book, 30 all-new stories that show the funnier side of bloodlust and mayhem. In addition to contributions by bestselling and award-winning authors, some of these writers may not be familiar to you…but it’s a good place to start. The book leads off with a new Harry Dresden story by Jim Butcher, followed by the funniest zombie golf adventure you’ve ever read…a new Otherworld story by Kelley Armstrong, and …well, I won’t give it all away. New work by LA Banks, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Nina Kiriki Hoffman, Christopher Golden, Mike Resnick and Lezli Robyn, Heather Graham, and more.

The anthology is due to be released this Halloween.

The third book in the hilarious and horrifying national bestselling anthology series from the Horror Writers Association—a frightfest of sidesplitting stories from such New York Times bestselling authors as Jim Butcher, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Heather Graham, L.A. Banks, Kelley Armstrong, and many more!

Horror fiction explores the dark side of human nature, often pushing the limits of violence, graphic gore, and extreme emotions. But with the popularity of shows and movies, such as The Walking Dead, True Blood, Twilight, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, audiences have demonstrated their love for the genre—especially accompanied with a dose of humor to tone down the terror.

Blood Lite III: Aftertaste continues to put the fun back into dark fiction, featuring a wide range of humorous and highly entertaining horror-filled tales. Edited by Horror Writers Association founding member and award-winning author Kevin J. Anderson, the stories vary in tone from wry to downright laugh-out-loud funny. Featuring such well-known horror writers as Jim Butcher, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Christopher Golden, and many others, this collection of tales is perfect for anyone who enjoys being entertained as much as they love a good scare.

Awesome, congrats!

[Snell]

Thanks, J!

You know, my story "Brians!!!" was partially inspired by conversations with you. And I actually first got the notion when writing the introduction to THE UNDEAD II: the notion that zombies really are taking over the world... one bookstore at a time.

I vaguely remember that...

Hey!  How did you get a copy of the Manifesto?  Hmmmm?  I got my eye on you, mister (the one that fell out, of course.)   

[Snell]

Damn it, Zak--had I been thinking, I could have made you a character in the story! You could have recited creepy poetry to the protagonist...
