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.
