Recenzii

“Balanced and entertaining . . . Fans of urban fantasy can read stories from some of their best-known names in the genre and discover new writers in this well-arranged anthology, which focuses on villains. In Jim Butcher’s “Even Hand,” the human crime lord who has been a thorn in wizard Harry Dresden’s side gets his due in an amusing story that pokes some fun at the long-running Dresden Files series. Other highlights include “Hounded” by Kelly Armstrong; Carrie Vaughn’s “Bellum Romanum,” featuring an immortal Roman centurion who wants to see the world burn; and the deliciously wicked “Balance” by Seanan McGuire, set in her InCryptid world.”
"Helmed by editor Joseph Nassise, these tales plunge readers into the world of each series featured—from Jeff Somers' Utsari Cycle to Kevin Hearne's Iron Druid Chronicles to Carrie Vaughn's Kitty Norville series—these stories are sure to appeal to fans and series newcomers alike!"
“Butcher is the dean of contemporary urban fantasy.”
“Storytelling doesn’t get much better than this, folks. The author has caught lightning (pun intended) in a bottle and he keeps doing it again and again. If you haven’t caught on to the joy that is the Iron Druid Chronicles, you should remedy that post-haste.”
“A wondrously gothic hybrid horror-thriller in the grand tradition of Dean Koontz and Stephen King.”
“Heartbreaking . . . Somers conjures a riveting setting that bends and breaks time and again, each iteration raising the stakes for his accidental hero. By turns frightening and sorrowful, this is a story that offers no good choices to its characters. The ever-present violence is balanced by compassion, which in turn is eroded by the grim fight to save humankind.”
“The only thing more fun than an October Daye book is an InCryptid book. Swift narrative, charm, great world-building . .  all the McGuire trademarks.”
“Top grade horror fiction.”
