    Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter Omnibus: Book 1 - 1st printing. By Laurell K. Hamilton. Collects Guilty Pleasures; The Laughing Corpse; and Circus of the Damned.

    Guilty Pleasures: New York Times Best-Selling author LAURELL K. HAMILTON offers readers a brand-new experience in the world of the macabre! Fusing mythology with a story loaded with mystery, action and romance, the ANITA BLAKE novels take place in a world where vampires, werewolves, and other creatures of nightmare have been declared legal citizens of the United States. ANITA BLAKE is an 'animator' - a profession that involves raising the dead for a living. ANITA BLAKE is also known as a fearsome hunter of criminal vampires, and she moonlights by investigating cases that are far too much for 'conventional' police. But as Anita gains the attention of the vampire masters in her hometown of St. Louis, she also risks revealing an intriguing secret about herself - the source of her unusual strength and power.

    The Laughing Corpse: Anita Blake is back in the second volume of Laurell K. Hamilton's bestselling series of novels! What would you do for a million dollars? Would you resurrect a two and one half century old corpse? Harold Gaynor poses just that question to Animator and part-time vampire hunter, Anita Blake. Plus, some crime scenes are even too horrible for a vampire slayer... and the worse they are, the more questions they raise.

    Circus of the Damned: Can Anita escape the venomous death of a giant cobra and clutches of Alejandro, a rogue vampire that wants to make her his slave? Meanwhile, the master vampire Jean-Claude continues to pursue the beautiful necromancer's affection, plus Anita meets Richard, a werewolf that will become important in her life.
