From the Editors of Barnes and Noble:
In the vein of blockbuster supernatural thrillers like Laurell K. Hamilton’s Anita Blake sequence and Charlaine Harris’s Southern Vampire saga comes Kim Harrison’s debut novel, Dead Witch Walking, about a sexy witch and bounty hunter who will do anything to bring criminals to justice.

Set in and around an alternate Cincinnati where Inderlanders (witches, vampires, werewolves, faeries, etc.) have officially been recognized, the novel begins with Harrison’s leather-loving hero, Rachel Morgan, quitting her job as a runner (a kind of supernatural bounty hunter) for Inderland Security. The only problem is that no one walks away from Inderland Security — and lives. Her boss, an ill-tempered ghoul named Denon, immediately puts out a contract on her, and within a matter of hours, her life is officially forfeit. She finds herself evicted from her apartment and almost assassinated on a city bus.

Thank God for friends. With the help of Ivy Tamwood, a non-practicing vampire, and Jenks, a temperamental pixie, Rachel tries to begin a new life by starting an independent investigation service based in an old church in an area called the Hollows. But first she must survive the week! While Dead Witch Walking doesn’t have the overt sexuality of an Anita Blake novel or the clever sense of humor of a Sookie Stackhouse tale, Kim Harrison’s new saga — powered by her intelligently crafted characters and tightly knit plotlines — will undoubtedly find a place of its own in this burgeoning hybrid genre that blurs the lines between fantasy, mystery, horror, and romance.

From the Editors of Barnes and Noble:
Sexy earth witch and leather-loving bounty hunter Rachel Morgan returns in The Good, the Bad, and the Undead, the sequel to Kim Harrison’s wildly popular debut novel, Dead Witch Walking. Rachel’s newest adventure finds her hot on the trail of a serial killer — and she’s his next target!

Having recently quit her job as a runner (supernatural bounty hunter) for Inderland Security to form her own agency, Rachel is finding it hard to make ends meet. Living in an old church in the Hollows of Cincinnati with an ill-tempered vampire named Ivy Tamwood and a wisecracking pixie named Jenks, she is forced to take any job she can get — like rescuing a baseball team’s mascot! But after a series of gruesome murders involving witches, Rachel is hired by the Federal Inderland Bureau to help track down the killer. Her investigation leads her to Trent Kalamack, a powerful councilman with ties to the supernatural underground. But as Rachel gets closer to the killer, she learns more about her own mysterious past — and what she finds out could kill her!

Fans of hybrid series that blend genres — horror, romance, mystery, and fantasy — like Laurell K. Hamilton’s Anita Blake novels, Charlaine Harris’s Southern Vampire saga, and Kelley Armstrong’s Women of the Otherworld sequence — will undoubtedly enjoy Harrison’s novels. With strong female characters, breakneck pacing, and enough juicy subplots and villainous secret agendas to power a daytime soap opera indefinitely, these novels are utterly readable: the very definition of guilty pleasure.

Page Count: 501pp.
Pub. Date: June 28, 2005
Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers

From the Editors of Barnes and Noble:
In Every Which Way but Dead, the third — and steamiest — Rachel Morgan novel (Dead Witch Walking and The Good, the Bad, and the Undead) by Kim Harrison, the soul of everyone’s favorite leather-loving earth witch is put in serious jeopardy when she tangles with a highly irate demon.

Rachel’s life is coming apart at the seams. Her boyfriend, Nick, has left her. One of her two business partners, a pixie named Jenks, has suddenly quit. And to make matters significantly worse, a powerful demon nicknamed Big Al is back to collect on an old debt. As Rachel tries to keep herself from being bodily dragged into the hereafter, her newest job puts her in league with Trent Kalamack, a ruthless councilman and unscrupulous businessman who has, until very recently, been her main nemesis. But as Rachel struggles to stay alive, she finally uncovers the jaw-dropping truth behind her father’s death and unravels Kalamack’s mysterious — and equally mind-boggling — agenda. She also finds love in the unlikeliest of places . . .

Blending horror, fantasy, and romance to create a genre-transcending story with widespread appeal, Harrison’s Rachel Morgan novels are analogous to Laurell K. Hamilton’s bestselling Anita Blake sequence, as well as Charlaine Harris’s Southern Vampire series and Christine Feehan’s Dark novels. Featuring an endearing cast of central characters, nonstop action, and Harrison’s wicked sense of humor, this saga is — as the tongue-in-cheek titles imply — pure, unadulterated fun.

The evil night things that prowl Cincinnati despise witch and bounty hunter Rachel Morgan. Her new reputation for the dark arts is turning human and undead heads alike with the intent to possess, bed, and kill her — not necessarily in that order.

Now a mortal lover who abandoned Rachel has returned, haunted by his secret past. And there are those who covet what Nick possesses — savage beasts willing to destroy the Hollows and everyone in it if necessary.

Forced to keep a low profile or eternally suffer the wrath of a vengeful demon, Rachel must nevertheless act quickly. For the pack is gathering for the first time in millennia to ravage and to rule. And suddenly more than Rachel’s soul is at stake.

From the Editors of Barnes and Noble:
Kim Harrison, author of the genre-blending Hollows saga featuring sexy earth witch and bounty hunter Rachel Morgan (A Fistful of Charms, Every Which Way but Dead, et al.), celebrates the monumental first hardcover release in the series with a truly blockbuster installment that is sure to satisfy fantasy, mystery, and romance fans alike.

Morgan’s already complicated personal life — living in an old church in the Hollows of Cincinnati with vampire Ivy Tamwood and a pixie named Jenks — turns downright chaotic when an insane demon inexplicably ransacks her home, a mysterious murderer begins a brutal killing spree, and her best friend, Ivy, suddenly packs up and moves out. After vampiric crime boss Piscary and villainous councilman Trent Kalamack learn about a demon-crafted artifact in Morgan’s possession, she becomes the unwilling focus of an otherworldly power struggle that will change her forever — and leave more than a few major characters dead!

While the sensually and supernaturally charged Rachel Morgan saga will obviously appeal to fans of authors like Laurell K. Hamilton, Charlaine Harris, and Christine Feehan, Harrison’s razor-sharp wit and wicked sense of humor make these novels perfect reading material for those who enjoy fast-paced, offbeat whodunits like Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum novels, Madelyn Alt’s Bewitching Mystery sequence, et al. If one single item from For a Few Demons More perfectly epitomized the attitude and ambiance of Harrison’s novels, it would have to be Rachel Morgan’s butt-kicking knee-high leather boots — or maybe her edible lingerie. . . .

Pub. Date: 2006
Publisher: Avon/HarperCollins

From the Editors of Barnes and Noble:
The cheapskate. The loud talker. The egomaniac. We’ve all had dates we’d rather forget, but nothing compares to those found in Dates from Hell, an explosive anthology featuring stories from four of the biggest names in supernatural fantasy: Kim Harrison, Lynsay Sands, Kelley Armstrong, and Lori Handeland.

Harrison, the author of the bestselling Rachel Morgan saga offers up a new story from the Hollows, a prequel of sorts that focuses on Morgan’s vampiric friend, Ivy Tamwood, before the two met. In “Undead in the Garden of Good and Evil,” Tamwood — working as a homicide detective for Inderland Security — must deal with an oversexed and undead boss who will do anything to taste her blood. In Armstrong’s “Chaotic” (which takes place within her Otherworld universe), undercover operative and half demon Hope Adams is experiencing true hell, stuck with a boorish blind date at a museum charity gala. But when she catches a thief, who happens to be a werewolf, red-handed, the evening’s festivities become unforgettable — for all the wrong reasons.

Sexy, sharp-witted, and at times downright spooky, this quartet of novellas should appeal not only to the four authors’ legions of dedicated fans but also to those who enjoy generous amounts of romance and eroticism mixed with their dark fantasy. Readers with a taste for genre-transcendent authors who blur the lines between fantasy, romance, and mystery — like Laurell K. Hamilton, Charlaine Harris, and Madelyn Alt — will find Dates from Hell absolutely heavenly.

This holiday, spend quality time with family and loved ones—living and dead . . .

There’s no place like home for the horrordays — unless you’d prefer a romantic midnight walk through a ghost-infested graveyard . . . or a haunted house candlelight dinner with the sexy vampire of your dreams. The (black) magical season is here — and whether it’s a solstice seance gone demonically wrong with the incomparable Kim Harrison, a grossly misshapen Christmas with the remarkable Lynsay Sands, a blood-chilling-and-spilling New Year’s with the wonderful Marjorie M. Liu, or a super-powered Thanksgiving with the phenomenal Vicki Pettersson, one thing is for certain: in the able hands of these exceptional dark side explorers, the holidays are going to be deliciously hellish!

The events in “Two Ghosts for Sister Rachel” occure before the events in Dead Witch Walking.
