wildhart (USA: LA) (2009/07/24):
This holiday, spend quality time with family and loved ones--living and dead... There's no place like home for the horror days--unless you'd prefer a romantic midnight walk through a ghost-infested graveyard... or a haunted house candlelight dinner with the sexy vampire of your dreams. The (black) magical season is here--and whether it's a solstice seance gone demoniacally wrong with the incomparable Kim Harrison, a grossly misshapen Christmas with the remarkable Lynsay Sands, a blood-chilling-and-spilling New Year's with the wonderful Marjorie M. Liu, or a super-powered Thanksgiving with the phenomenal Vicki Pettersson, one thing is for certain: in the able hands of these exceptional dark side explorers, the holidays are going to be deliciously hellish! 4 novellas Kim Harrison--Two Ghosts for Sister: Rachel Introduces us to a younger Rachel Morgan--an undergraduate witch-in-training--who naively resurrects a spirit and sparks a terrifying showdown with a deadly undead adversary. Lynsay Sands--Run, Run, Rudolph: Serves up a scrumptious stew of Yuletide suspense when, in order to escape from a determined stalker, a beautiful, reluctant shape-shifter must assume different forms. Marjorie M. Liu--Six: keeps a petite-but-powerful government agent's hands full when she must join forces with a hunky necromancer to prevent an unholy brotherhood of terrorists and vampires from ringing in the New Year with blood. Vicki Pettersson--The Harvest: brings a former superhero--an elite Zodiac warrior (Zoe) back to the mortal world for a Thanksgiving reunion with her equally hated and beloved enemy to do battle for the lives of her imperiled children
