This anthology is worth reading for Jim Butcher's Curses, Ellen Kushner's Duke of Riverside, Patricia Briggs' Fairy Gifts, and Melissa Marr's Guns for the Dead. Naked City: Tales of Urban Fantasy begins strong with a Dresden Files short story, but readers should be forewarned that many of the shor...
I borrowed this book after the high I was on from reading [b:Magic City: Recent Spells|20299673|Magic City Recent Spells|Paula Guran|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1391041549s/20299673.jpg|28133245]. Plus it contains a story from Patricia Briggs. How could I resist? I should have. Boy was I disa...

However the Editor (Datlow) saids there are from an spectrum of the theme involving a city, to me are 2 , specially, that didn’t belong: “The Duke of Riverside” (part of the S...
4.5 stars I only read the stories by Jim butcher and Patricia Briggs. 4.25 star for Curses by Butcher. Perfect short for Cubs and Butcher fans. 5 stars for Fairy Gifts by Briggs. I just love the way she writes.
Hit or miss, like most such anthologies. It felt as if either they packed the good stories toward the front of this one, or else I got bored with it toward the end. However, many of the stories in this collection veered more toward horror than urban fantasy, which is not really my cup of tea. The m...
