I loved this book because it gave me a chance to get to know some of the characters I had met in previous novels. It allowed me to understand the characters and at the same time get an idea of how the writer had envisioned the world in which they resided. The character of Anita Blake appears so different in the first story regarding her. Instead of the Vampire slayer I would come admire, she was a staid business woman who simply raised the dead. It was nice to see what could have been if all the craziness had not started. This book is great for someone who has never read Hamilton, but would like to get to know her work. She is a talented writer with a fertile imagination. If you enjoy vampires, magic, and a series of things that go bump in the night this is the author for you.
I didn't know if I would like this book and I wanted a HC for my collection. I usually don't care for short stories but these stories were amazing and had a different flavor to them. Each story could easily have been expanded into a 400 page book. Interesting and not predictable. I am looking folrward to reading all her books as I receive them in the mail. It is dificult to really put Laurell in a category of writer because she surprises you at every turn. I wish I had found her years ago but I am a fast reader and I will catch up shortly. Worth your time and then some. Brenda Baril Orlando FL
this is a short story compilation by my favorite author of the moment. each story is unique and cross genre ( typical of her style). although i am a die hard fan of her anita blake series she is just a great writer; period. all are worth reading and a fun way to spend time until one can get to the new anita blake novel. fantasy and sci-fi lovers should dig several stories in this book.
A nice little collection of stories...when you don't have time for a full meal(say an Anita Blake novel) you can grab a quick snack! These are perfect, interesting short stories with some familiar worlds and characters in different situations. A great supernatural read by a very talented author. I highly recommend for any fan of Laurell K. Hamilton's many series.
of anything by Laurell K Hamilton. Never a dissapointment! This book was a vast array of sides to LKH that I have never seen before. I love her expressions and descriptions. She makes them pop into your mind like a video. I love this book because is sways away from her normal routine. Though I am so very happy an Anita Blake story was incuded because I just can't get enough of the Executioner!! I recommend if you want to see the sheer imagination and brilliance of what your favorite writer(and mine) can do, pick this book up today!!
