About this title

Synopsis

This darkly humorous follow-up to the national bestselling anthology from the Horror Writers Association is a heart-pounding collection of stories from acclaimed authors like Heather Graham, Allison Brennan, Kelley Armstrong, Kevin J. Anderson, and many more.

Horror fiction is known for testing the limits—diving into visceral violence, graphic imagery, and the darkest sides of human nature. But some of the most successful examples of modern horror also include a liberal dose of humor and irony to temper the jagged edge.

This anthology continues to put the fun back into dark fiction, featuring humorous and highly entertaining examples of horror from authors like Jeff Strand, Heather Graham, Allison Brennan, Kelley Armstrong, Aaron Polson, Mike Baron, and many more.

Ranging from wry wit and unexpected irony to downright laugh-out-loud funny, the stories in Blood Lite II: Overbite strike the balance of humor and horror that make stories unforgettable.
