Now available in hardcover for the first time, The Laughing Corpse takes readers back to a time when Anita"s life was a bit less complicated. As the best Animator in the business-she"s as good at raising the dead as she is at slaying the undead-she crosses paths with a creature from beyond the grave, a super-powerful zombie who is tearing a swath of murder through the city. And she discovers that there are some secrets better left buried-and some people better left dead.
