Necromancy and those that practice it
Apocrypha:
With all the stories I've ever come across, whenever they mention Necromancers, they're usually the evil creepy guy raising the army of zombies and skeletons to conquer the world.
My question is, has there ever been a story (or what not) where necromancers were good? Or at least not seen as evil?

Anita Blake's def one but I only read the first nine books and am not sure if her "good guy" stance changed afterward.
Starbeam:
Ditto for Anita Blake, though the later books tend to be less about her ability to raise the dead. The other that might possibly fall under good necromancer(I don't know cause I haven't read it, and can't ask my b/f as he's in the shower) is a series by Gail Z Martin, I believe the author is, and I don't know what the titles are. Those are on my to-read list.

Why aren't you in the shower with him then?
The Corvidian:
There is one in Yasmine Galenorn's Demon Mistress. He is a secondary character, and he is more of a shaman.
