Blood Lite II: Overbite by Kevin J. Anderson
3.0
With this anthology I'm not going to try to give a short synopsis of each story, as the stories are so short I don't want to give anything away. There are many authors in here I have never heard of, then there are a few I have. These stories were all short segments and great for reading in brief moments when I need a book fix and can't read a whole story. Or even between books.
But as a few of these stories where great fun there where a few that didn't click with me. I have to mention a few of the stories where to short. I felt as I was just getting a scene of a bigger picture, but didn't really have a plot. Then there are the stories that in the short number of pages told a story I enjoyed. But both sides of the coin will come with an anthology this size.
This was a fun witty dark fantasy horror read. If you like a little yucky with your humor you might enjoy this book. But don't look for deep story lines here. There are a few story lines that seem like short stories but mostly not.
The stories I enjoyed the most are: Dark Carbuncle, Death and Taxes, Dog Tired (of the Drama!), The Halloween War, Oh, the Ho-Ho Horror, Her Lucky Day, Barewolf, American Banchee, The Ghoul Next Door, Daycare of the Damned, The Close Shave, Lucifer's Daughter.
