For the first time in trade paperback: the fifth novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling series from Laurell K. Hamilton. When Branson, Missouri, is hit with a death wave 'four unsolved murders' it doesn't take an expert to realize that all is not well.

And she's got an 'in' with the creature that can make sense of the slayings-the sexy master vampire known as Jean-Claude.

The explosive and controversial debut novel by a major new voice in fiction Meet Tristan Hart, a brilliant young man of means. The year is 1751, and at the age of twenty he leaves home to study medicine at the great hospital of St. Thomas in London. It will be a momentous year for the intellectually ambitious Mr. Hart, who, in addition to being a student of Locke and Descartes and a promising young physician, is also, alas, psychotic. He is obsessed with the nature of pain and medically preventing it, but—equally strong and much harder to control—is his obsession with causing it. Desperate to understand his deviant desires before they are his undoing, he uses the new tools of the age—reason and science and skepticism—to plumb the depths of his own dark mind. Profoundly imaginative, unexpectedly funny, and with a strange but moving love story at its heart, The Tale of Raw Head and Bloody Bones is an oddly beautiful and daring novel about the relationship between the mind and body, sex, madness, pain, and the existence of God.

Captain Johnny Bones loved to sail the seven seas with some of the roughest shipmates that ever sailed. Captain Johnny Bone's ship was called Bloody Bones because every ship that crossed its path would be a bloody mess. When Captain Johnny Bones got through with the crew, there would be nothing left but bloody bones. When Captain Johnny Bones and his shipmates came aboard, they stole all the gold aboard and would slit every crew member's throat and watch their juggler vein squirt blood on the other dead bodies. Just before Captain Johnny Bones and his men would climb aboard their ship Bloody Bones, they would roast the dead men's hearts over their burning bodies and eat their hearts to show that Captain Johnny Bones and his men were the toughest Pirates in the sea. Very few men in Captain Johnny Bone's ship would ever back-talk him. If they did, they would either walk the plank or have their heads cut off, and a rope would be threaded through both ears then tied above their head, and the head would hang a couple of feet along the side of the ship. When other Pirates dare come alongside Captain Johnny Bone's boat and see all of the severed heads along the bottom of the vessel that was enough to make any pirate ship retreat and head back home. Captain Johnny Bones had a big ego and would love to attack any ship in its path friendly or not. Regardless if another pirate ship was nearby.
