When a fifteen-year-old girl is abducted by
vampires, it’s up to U.S. Marshal Anita Blake to find her. And when she
does, she’s faced with something she’s never seen before: a
terrifyingly ordinary group of people—kids, grandparents, soccer
moms—all recently turned and willing to die to avoid serving a master.
And where there’s one martyr, there will be more…

“How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.”—Elizabeth Barrett Browning, 1850
“How do I hate thee? How much time do you have?”—Joan Rivers, today, about two-ish
Joan Rivers is a groundbreaking, award-winning, internationally renowned entertainment goddess. She’s also opinionated—especially when it comes to people she hates. Like people who think giving birth is a unique achievement. Or well-adjusted, a.k.a. boring, ex-child stars who don’t even have a decent addiction.
With all of her diverse experiences, it stands to reason that Joan has seen, done, said, and heard a lot of hateful things. Thank god, she took notes. Here—uncensored and totally uninhibited—she give the best of her worst to First Ladies, closet cases, hypocrites, Hollywood, feminists, and overrated historical figures. And even when letting herself have it, Joan doesn’t hold back in this honest, unabashedly hilarious love letter to the hater in all of us.

thorough" by The Guardian (London).
While working for several years in a comic book store, Tim Chamberlain started

book features those customers. And the things they said.
