I finally finished reading Blood Lite: An Anthology of Humorous Horror Stories Presented by the Horror Writers Association
and really the only thing that I got from it was that I decided to add Storm Front (The Dresden Files, Book 1) to my wish list for when it's time to order a book again (I've got Coraline coming to tide me over until the dvd comes out, also have How to Marry a Millionaire Vampire on the way and in May there's Dead and Gone (Sookie Stackhouse, Book 9)). I should just change the name of this blog to "I like Superman, Vampires, and Wizards but don't wanna sound like a dork on my real blog so I talk about that here", but that's too long of a title.

Anyway, back to Blood Lite, it was ok. Unlike movies they can't just go BOO and play loud sounds to scare the crap out of you, so in written form horror has to be different. This is more comedy... or... hmm... Some of them not even horror. Not sure what you would call some of them, supernatural is probably more accurate for some of the stories. Maybe? Whatever. The only author I knew before picking this up was Charlaine Harris from the Sookie books. There were a few stories that were decent enough I'd probably read the authors if you handed me their books, but the only one I bothered to look up was the guy who wrote the aforementioned book I added to my wishlist. Apparently it was even a tv show that I missed. *shrug* I don't watch sci-fi channel much except for Ghosthunters which reminds me I missed the new one because we moved so it wasn't on my DVR yet, only GHI was as when I looked to put it in my DVR it was TBA so I couldn't add it yet, oops. So I missed their season opener, dammit.

I ramble again, so Blood Lite, that's how much it grabbed my attention, not that every story was bad, they weren't, but knowing what I know now, I'd not suggest buying it new probably, go for used. At least I added to my wish list from reading it. But eh, I'd hoped the whole hey it's funny sarcastic humour -- Charlaine Harris is in it, meant it'd be a fast read. Short stories! She writes Sookie! That had to be a sign. It wasn't. Somehow I just couldn't get into the book as a whole.
