Love that it had the pov of another character. ( ) Interesting anthology. All the stories have to do with ghosts or werewolves or vampires living in the present day. A bar is haunted by a ghost, with a vampire proprietor. He's only open nights. A murder, an explosion. And one cranky ghost. Another story about a man who is hired to kill off werewolves. Then why does he find himself at a school for girls? The padded feet of a large animal lead the way. Or a tale about the last dragonslayer, who after several hundred years is bored and glad there's only one left. The door opens and there is her replacement. But this Millenial is not what she seems! Great endings, keeps your interest. Should likely be read on a Halloween night than so near the Christmas holiday. Recommended.
Elrod has collected nine original stories by the modern masters of urban fantasy; an anthology that will both thrill fans and serve as a nice introduction to an increasingly popular genre. Several of the stories are set in the authors' series worlds but feature minor characters; Jim Butcher's “Even Hand,” for example, uses the landscape of the Dresden Files series but focuses on Chicago Mob boss Johnny Marcone. Carrie Vaughn's “God's Creatures” features Cormac, who must track down a rogue werewolf. All the stories feature knights of one kind or another, but none is the conventional knight of history. The entire collection is strong, but the two highlights are Rachel Caine's “Even a Rabbit Will Bite,” about two old foes, and Shannon Butcher's “The Beacon,” in which a reluctant hunter must decide the fate of a small girl. With some of the biggest names in urban fantasy contributing stories, this anthology will be an instant hit with fans. Is opgenomen inBevat
