This is honestly a refreshing change from LKH's most recent books because it has none of the pontificating, repetetitive nonsense, one-upmanship, or outright offensive drivel. It's actually pretty fun for a one off short story.

So happy to have finally read this one!
Short and interesting even though I'm not a baseball fan.

That was brief and felt unfinished. I suppose that's the nature of short stories in general, but it felt like it was more of an introduction to a story than a story itself. It had all the framework to be a good little novella, then it just ended.

So good to read about Anita's every day work, like in the early books of the series... It was a very sweet snippet.

This short story was just a couple of pages long and quite frankly was less annoying than the last few books I have read from her. This short story was actually decent, especially, since none of her boy toys were involved and I didn't have to put up with Anita's atrocious sex life. If anything it reminded me a little of old school Blake just raising zombies. Exactly, how we were first introduced to her dozens of books earlier. I truly wish that Hamilton would go back to that type of writing and story telling but I know better than that.

This is the kind of scenes I miss in the Anita Blake series. Something weird and funny and downright abnormal for even a necromancer/vampire executioner.

Ok... wheres the rest of the story? You can't just tease like this I mean come on ZOMBIE GOAT and there isn't crap to go with it for how Anita raised a goat as a zombie.

An adorable, if unlikely, short! I enjoyed reading the story to see the funnier side of zombie raising!

Short and cute. I loved the happy pet goat. Even more appealing (and shocking) was the lack of whiny relationship angst and overdone erotica. Just Anita the Necromancer doing her job. Awesome.

This was good, but that last paragraph was extremely rushed.

I found this story on the authors site. { laurellkhamilton.com. }
It is a very cute read story. I enjoy the Anita Blake stories even though it is short and cute it was worth the read

Fun short story about how A Girl, a VERY specific goat and a zombie helped the Cubbies win the world series in 2016!
