Hi all,

Sorry if this is the wrong forum, wasn't sure which one to post in

I was in Barnes and Noble today looking at the collection of the first three novellas and the order was Blood Follows, Lees of Laughter's end and the Healthy dead. I thought the publishing order was Blood Follows, Healthy Dead and Lees of Laughter's end....is this a mistake on Tor's part or is it the correct reading order?

The publishing order is indeed Blood Follows, Healthy Dead and then Less of Laughter's End. Chronologically in the story, it's a bit more dubious, but it's odd that they would order them out of publishing order, I agree.

Everything I've ever read says Lees comes chronologically pretty much directly after Blood Follows. I'm glad to hear that Tor put them in this order.

Yeah, Lees comes chronologically pretty much directly after Blood Follows, so it makes sense to have them back to back. The Healthy Dead takes place years later, maybe even after Memories of Ice, so it'd probably be a bit strange if you read them one-after-another in publishing order (as you likely would in an omnibus edition!).
