In New York Times bestselling author Charlaine Harris's "Dracula Night," Sookie Stackhouse is the only human at the annual commemoration of Dracula's birth. But this year, the Prince of Darkness actually shows up-and finds Sookie to be a tasty-looking present.

New York Times bestselling author Jim Butcher's crime-solving wizard Harry Dresden, of the Dresden Files novels, heads to a role-playing party to give his vampire brother a birthday present in "It's My Birthday Too," only to discover there are some bloodthirsty party crashers who don't share their brotherly love.

In "Twilight," Cassandra DuCharme, who appeared in New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong's Dime Store Magic, knows she has to kill to live as a vampire another year-but finds herself disturbingly disinterested in the hunt.

Plus ten more bloody good birthday stories that take the cake.

New York Times bestselling authors Charlaine Harris, Patricia Briggs, Keri Arthur, and Carrie Vaughn—along with eleven other masters of the genre—offer all-new stories on werewolves and the holidays, a fresh variation on the concept that worked so well with birthdays and vampires in Many Bloody Returns.

The holidays can bring out the beast in anyone. They are particularly hard for lycanthropes. Charlaine Harris and Toni L. P. Kelner have harvested the scariest, funniest and saddest werewolf tales by an outstanding pack of authors, best read by the light of a full moon with a silver bullet close at hand.

Whether wolfing down a holiday feast (use your imagination) or craving some hair of the dog on New Year’s morning, the werewolves in these frighteningly original stories will surprise, delight, amuse, and scare the pants off readers who love a little wolfsbane with their mistletoe.]]> 17061 3.93 194081 18172 81016 3.56 1012 117 81017 3.57 3240 566 165198 3.70 1175 154 8988 3.82 8214 1023 40563 4.05 28256 3495 158170 3.86 5786 611 49538 3.60 2871 429 38066 3.76 8321 1006 7742 3.89 10407 879 121825 3.88 2765 437 2911953 3.56 849 101 60646 3.68 5745 788 41942 3.84 12929 1121 2358 3.56 1104 141 2008 1520321 0812579011 9780812579017 0 <![CDATA[Midnight Louie's Pet Detectives]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1184640770m/1520321.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1184640770s/1520321.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1520321.Midnight_Louie_s_Pet_Detectives 4.24 17
