For anyone out there who's riding the train of "Laurel Hamilton sucks so much 'cause the Anita Blake books have turned into porn!", go grab a copy of Strange Candy and read Geese.

This story was first published in one of the Sword and Sorceress anthologies, it was the first work of hers that I ever read, and it completely rocks.

And on the subject of the Anita!hate - WTF? Violence, death, gore and adolescent mooning about are ok, but teh sex is bad? What, PWP can only happen in fanfic?
