The Laughing Corpse

The older the zombie, the bigger the death needed to raise it.

After a few centuries, the only death big enough is a human sacrifice. I know because I'm an animator. My name is Anita Blake. Working for Animators, Inc. is just a job—like selling insurance. But all the money in the world wasn't enough for me to take on the particular job Harold Gaynor was offering. Somebody else did, though—a rogue animator. Now he's not just raising the dead... he's raising Hell. And it's up to me to stop it.
