Book Review of Blood Lite: An Anthology of Humorous Horror Stories

Blood Lite: An Anthology of Humorous Horror Stories

Helpful Score: 1


I'm a fan of paranormal books, and I like all of the authors on the cover - Kelley Armstrong, Charlaine Harris, Sherrilyn Kenyon, and Jim Butcher, so I got this. But I'm not a horror fan, and this turned out to be fairly uninteresting. It says it's humourous horror, but I didn't think very many of the stories were funny.

The big names:
Kelley Armstrong - Jaime Vargas from the Women of the Otherworld series is being pestered by a ghost.
Jim Butcher - Harry Dresden has a day off scheduled.
Charlaine Harris - Features environmentalists with a big idea for change. Not a Sookie story.
Sherrilyn Kenyon - A guy gets an unexpected inheritance. Does not appear to be related to any of her series.

The only ones I thought were actually funny were by Jim Butcher, Charlaine Harris, Mike Resnick, and Eric James Stone.
