Her investigation unwittingly begins during a bachelorette party held at Guilty Pleasures, a strip club owned by Jean-Claude, a master vampire.  Anita's dislike of vampires becomes painfully obvious when a vampire named Robert 'attacks' a man named Phillip, who turns out to be a vampire junkie--someone who gets off on having a vampire suck his blood. Matters worsen when one of Anita's friends has her mind controlled by a vampire, and Anita's control over the dead helps her to resist the vampire's persuasion. Disaster is averted when Anita's pager goes off, and she is summoned by Detective Dolph Storr to lend her paranormal expertise to a murder in a local cemetery. The groundskeeper has been eviscerated, and it's Anita's determination that ghouls are to blame.  However, she doesn't believe the ghouls are from that cemetery.  Returning to Guilty Pleasures to take her friends home, Anita discovers that another vampire, Aubrey, has exerted mind control over her other friend, to the point that she is now totally within his power; his to do with how and when he pleases. When he attempts to do the same to Anita, she resists. However, her fear excites Aubrey so that he loses control and attacks her.\u003cbr\u003eRelease Date: 2006","brand":"Marvel Comics","offers":[{"title":"NM","offer_id":40879675244643,"sku":"231024A-079","price":4.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0265\/1262\/1667\/products\/231024-anita_blake_guilty_1_nm.jpg?v=1698173739"},{"product_id":"231024-080","title":"Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter in Guilty Pleasures #3A (2007)","description":"\u003cbr\u003eGuilty Pleasures, Guilty Pleasures, Part 3\u003cbr\u003eAnita's fight with the wererats is interrupted by their king breaking through the wall into the room.  The wererat king is angry that his minions have heeded the request of Nikolaos against his orders.  He advises Anita to do what Nikolaos requests, or she could be hurt.  Sensing the approach of a vampire, the wererat king leaves moments  before Theresa enters the room to fetch Anita to Nikolaos's chamber.  True to form, within minutes of meeting Nikolaos, Anita angers the Master of the City, causing Nikolaos to unleash her powers in a staggering attack that almost leaves Anita at the vampire's mercy.  Nikolaos tells Anita that if she doesn't help the vampires find the murderer her mind will be destroyed.  Nikolaos then calls in Zachary, an animator who has raised a zombie who witnessed one of the vampire murders.  The zombie can't answer Zachary's questions to Nikolaos's satisfaction, and Zachary's attempts to force the zombie to answer breaks his memory, meaning he'll never answer questions as long as he's animated.  Nikolaos snaps, forcing Jean-Claude to fend off his mistress while Anita and Zachary run for their lives.  Before emerging into the Circus of the Damned, under which Nikolaos's lair resides, Anita is pursued and overcome by glowing blue eyes.  Other than making her own eyes turn blue, they seem to have no other effect.  The ordeal appears to be over, until a vampire in a golden mask arrives to confront Anita.\u003cbr\u003eRelease Date: 2007","brand":"Marvel Comics","offers":[{"title":"NM","offer_id":40879675867235,"sku":"231024A-080","price":4.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0265\/1262\/1667\/products\/231024-anita_blake_guilty_3_nm.jpg?v=1698173742"},{"product_id":"231024-081","title":"Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter in Guilty Pleasures #6 (2007)","description":"\u003cbr\u003eGuilty Pleasures, Guilty Pleasures, Part 6\u003cbr\u003eDead Dave's is a bar owned by a vampire who used to be a cop. Luther, the bar tender, tells Anita that Valentine is apparently responsible for Phillip's being a vampire junkie. Valentine attacked Phillip when he was only a child.  When Anita asks Luther for Valentine's daytime resting place, he refuses to give her the information, both to protect himself and Dave, and to protect Anita from going to prison for killing a vampire without a warrant.  Ronnie Sims calls Anita to tell her that a human group known as Humans Against Vampires (HAV) may have formed a death squad that could be responsible for the vampire murders.  Anita tells Ronnie about the Freak Party and goes home to get ready.  Inside her apartment, Anita finds evidence that Edward has returned, leaving her a present of a sawed-off shotgun, and a note informing her she has 24 hours to divulge Nikolaos's resting place.  Anita picks Phillip up and lets it slip that she knows about Valentine.  Phillip isn't happy, but his revenge is that Anita has to pretend to be his lover while they are at the Freak Party.  Anita manages to piss off several people at the party before learning that Edward is at the party, masquerading as a freak named Teddy.  Phillip, meanwhile, is being pawed by all the women at the party, and when he verbally lashes out at them, he drags Anita into the bathroom.  She offers to leave with Phillip so that he isn't tempted further, but Phillip refuses.  He also refuses to divulge the name of the vampire giving him orders.

She tells Bert she won't work with vampires--ever again!  Anita manages to enrage a fellow co-worker when she offers anti-vampire information to a mother whose son is considering joining the Church of Eternal Life.  The Church is run by vampires and offers eternal life, in the form of changing its congregation into vampires.  After having it out with the co-worker, Anita is faced with Phillip, the vampire junkie from Guilty Pleasures the night before.  Over breakfast, Phillip provides Anita with information on how Nikolaos punishes her minions that fail her--she puts them in coffins and uses crosses to keep them in there.  Anita fears this may have happened to Jean-Claude because he intervened on her behalf.  Phillip goes along with Anita to question Rebecca Miles, who was the \"property\" of one of the murdered vampires.  After a misunderstanding that results in Rebecca attacking Anita, Anita learns that the murdered vampire was a regular at Freak Parties, where vampire junkies allow vampires to feed from them.  Anita decides to crash one of parties for information, since it appears the murdered vampires all frequented the parties, and Phillip agrees to go with her to show her the ropes, since he used to frequent the parites himself.  Anita takes Phillip home and then heads to Dead Dave's bar for more answers.  \u003cbr\u003eRelease Date: 2007","brand":"Marvel Comics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43784295481443,"sku":"251018-223","price":3.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0265\/1262\/1667\/files\/1O5G-3EYXqZsgd6xDDYVFfD4isJdCn6SV.jpg?v=1760728593"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0265\/1262\/1667\/collections\/Untitled_design_36.png?v=1671871094","url":"https:\/\/knowherecomics.com\/en-us\/collections\/anita-blake.oembed","provider":"Knowhere","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
