My Take
Hamilton's imagination genuinely thrills me. Born in Heber Springs, Arkansas, she conjured Anita Blake, a heroine who raises zombies and executes vampires, a premise audacious from the first page. Her Merry Gentry series and her bold fusion of dark fantasy with romance made her a fixture on the New York Times bestseller list. What I admire most is a woman writing the bloody, supernatural underworld with total command and zero apology. The arc of an author seizing the world on the strength of her own dark inventiveness is, to me, one of the best stories of all.
