I'm a sucker for these UF anthologies. I always fish in and usually end up liking only a handful of the stories. Which was the case with this one. With some I'd never read the series they were based on, so when I got lost I gave up on the stories. Charlaine Harris' Dahlia story wasn't bad...prob...

George R. R. Martin and Gardner Dozois, neither of which are names I instantly associate with urban fantasy, edit this collection of short stories. Martin makes the claim in the introduction that Urban Fantasy is the bastard child of two genres: Noir and Horror. I can see his point, to a degree, and...

The stories were kind of hit and miss, much what I expected from a collection of short stories.

Only read and rated for Patricia Briggs's In Red, With Pearls, a short story featuring Warren Smith, a well known character in the Mercy Thompson series, as he pursues one of his cases as a PI involving zombies and grudges. It is a good little mystery piece but too brief to give the ending the prop...

Audbiobook. I do own the hardback. Anthology. 3.44 stars average. So, for such a large anthology, this one was better than average because usually the larger they are, the worse the rating. Introduction The bastard stepchild by George R.R. Martin. I was surprised he didn't include his own shor...
