The Laughing Corpse (Anita Blake Vampire Hunter)
Harold Gaynor offers Anita Blake a million dollars to raise a 300-year-old  zombie. Knowing it means a human sacrifice will be necessary, Anita turns him down.  But when dead bodies start turning up, she realizes that someone else has raised Harold's  zombie--and that the zombie is a killer. Anita pits her power against the zombie and the  voodoo priestess who controls it. Notice to Hollywood: forgetBuffy the Vampire  Slayer;Anita Blake is the real thing.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
