None of this should be spoilery for folks who haven't read Danse Macabre (only commonly discussed information contained behind link) ( but just in case... )

After finishing DM I decided that I needed to go back and try to remember WHY I liked the series in the first place. I decided to go for OB just because I can't remember what happened in most of that book, but I remembered that Edward had a starring role.
I'm only a few chapters into it, but gawd. Anita has character. There's actually a plot! She's doing something besides fucking! She raised zombies and was working with the cops!
*cries* When is the old Anita going to come back to us?
But now I am starting to wonder what Edward has been up to since we last saw him. I think it would be interesting if Ted DID get married. He'd send an invite to Anita and she'd have to bring her harem of men. It MIGHT actually be a good story if LKH could bring back personalities to her characters. Edward would be there as Ted, pissed as hell over Anita's harem and dealing with trying to figure out what he should do. Would he let Ted slip enough so that he had to show Donna what he really was by trying to kill as many of the harem as possible, or would he just let the rage build up during the wedding and vow to take down Anita and the crew some other day? After all, in OB it's mentioned that Edward likes hunting the dangerous pray. I can't think of anyone more dangerous in the Antiaverse now than Anita.

So I was in Barnes and Noble last night, perusing the sci/fi section, when I came across Death of a Darklord by LKH. It didn't really say what the story was about when I flipped it over, just that it was by 'best selling author, LKH, author of the AB:VH series'. Has anyone else seen this? Been exceedingly brave and maybe even read it? I read the first few pages (some small hope still lives that she wrote a sequel to Nightseer) but it definitely wasn't a world that I've read by her before.
Although, if she really did write this while writing DM, it might explain why she can't keep track of anything. Post its can only hold so much information...
