About this listen

 In this dark and gritty collection—featuring short stories from Jim Butcher, Seanan McGuire, Kevin J. Anderson, and Rob Thurman—nothing is as simple as black and white, light and dark, good and evil..

Unfortunately, that’s exactly what makes it so easy to cross the line.

In #1 New York Times bestselling author Jim Butcher’s Cold Case, Molly Carpenter—Harry Dresden’s apprentice-turned-Winter Lady—must collect a tribute from a remote Fae colony and discovers that even if you’re a good girl, sometimes you have to be bad...

New York Times bestselling author Seanan McGuire’s Sleepover finds half-succubus Elsie Harrington kidnapped by a group of desperate teenage boys. Not for anything “weird.” They just need her to rescue a little girl from the boogeyman. No biggie.

In New York Times bestselling Kevin J. Anderson’s Eye of Newt, Zombie P.I. Dan Shamble’s latest client is a panicky lizard missing an eye who thinks someone wants him dead. But the truth is that someone only wants him for a very special dinner...

And New York Times bestselling author Rob Thurman’s infernally heroic Caliban Leandros takes a trip down memory lane as he deals wih some overdue—and nightmarish—vengeance involving some quite nasty Impossible Monsters.

Tanya Huff * Kat Richardson * Jim C. Hines * Anton Strout * Lucy A. Snyder * Kristine Kathryn Rusch * Erik Scott de Bie *

Critic Reviews

Praise for Jim Butcher and the Dresden Files

“Butcher is the dean of contemporary urban fantasy.”—Booklist

“Think Buffy the Vampire Slayer starring Philip Marlowe.”—Entertainment Weekly

Praise for Seanan McGuire

“The plot is strong, the characterization is terrific, the tragedies hurt...and McGuire's usual beautiful writing and dark humor are present and accounted for. This has become one of my favorite urban fantasy series.”—Fantasy Literature

Praise for Kevin J. Anderson

“Anderson's skill in delivering taut action scenes and creating well-rounded human and alien characters adds depth and variety to a series opener that belongs in most SF collections.”—Library Journal

Praise for Rob Thurman

“Thurman continues to deliver strong tales of dark urban fantasy.”—SFRevu

The only Dresden story is already included in Brief Cases. No idea why this is listed as part of the Dresden series.

Don’t buy it for Dresden

I have to agree with another reviewer. This book should not be included with the Dresden files series in the way it has been. If the audiobook about Molly had been included in another compilation with other Dresden files related stories, then all good. The way it is included with multiple other stories means it has minimal relation :(.

Not a waste of time, but not at all what I was expecting, compared to the other compilation of short stories in the series.

Multiple other stories - not Dresden files related

This book should not have been recommended at part of the series! Short stories were not Dresden related and should have been left off audibles next in line titles

Shadowed Souls - not part of the series
