_The Laughing Corpse_ is the second book in the Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter series. It takes place in an alternate reality where vampires are legal and being an animator(raising zombies) is just another job. Anita is an animator who is also a consultant for the preternatural investigation squad(a branch of the police force) in St. Louis. In this book she investigates some mysterious and gruesome murders that just might be connected to her particular line of work. Highly recommended.
