Acerca de esta escucha

Harry is the best and technically the 'only' at what he does, being the lone professional wizard PI in the Chicago phonebook. So when the Chicago PD has cases that transcend mortal capabilities, they come to him for answers.

For the 'everyday' world is actually full of strange and magical things - and most of them don't play well with humans. Yet despite his precautions, Harry tends to stumble from crisis to drama in his dealings with the supernatural world - call it an occupational hazard.

Here, he unfailingly manages to get on the wrong side of werewolf, fae, and vampires alike. And that's where his own rather special powers come into play....

These bite-sized stories are tremendously entertaining and will leave you itching to explore more of Harry Dresden's world. And as well as eight short stories, this collection includes an all-new Dresden Files novella.

Some stories I had allready read but there was new ones. Especially I liked last one because Harry and his doughter is still undiscovered country. There is also stories thru other eyes like Molly and Butters. You really should read this book not because its Harry Dresden but because there is much other people in Dresden files that matters too. Its good and ..ofcourse lots of fun!

Just as good as Jim Butcher can

I've been avoiding the side stories because of a general dislike of "spin-off" type of literature, and because in many ways the one thing I would truly like to improve about the Dresden files (which is that the story sometimes does not have time to "breathe", have the tranquility to enjoy more about the world and characters) may be exaggerated when a story is limited to only that many pages. That being said, I was presently surprised, as all stories but the first one (which has an appropriate disclaimer) seemed to be rationed very well in terms of "breathing" content to "rasping" one and felt in many ways like any individual book from the series. So far, so good. What came as a very nasty surprise is how easily SA related content was used as a plot device.

Now, here are some facts: a good writer does not need to use sexual assault to raise the tension. Sexual assault, especially in its extremes, is arguably a crime more heinous than murder for the prolonged impact it causes victims. In a world where it was just fictional, and not in our reality, referencing it in literature to add a horror element would be slightly more acceptable. As it currently stands, it isn't, and the nicest way I can put it is this: an author that uses sexual assault as a structural plot element can for sure do better.

Obviously, it is not something that is encouraged in any way by the narrative, and it is very well the means of the bad guys to do damage to the world, but it is still distinctly in bad taste. It particularly felt so in Heorot, where it felt like it was handwaved away in almost dismissive fashion. There are also multiple plots involving emotional manipulation with a "roofie" effect which I very much put in the same category, and we have Thomas "orgasming" an enemy (that is established as non-human in a human body) to death. In short, something I find tolerable in the mainline (there is a layer of covertness to that when it comes to how Dresden generally writes The White Court) to be excessively overt and it is beyond distasteful, to point that it ruined the taste of the entire book for me. Which is a shame, as it is quite interesting outside of those parts.

Better than I thought, worse in ways I did not exp

James Marsters does a terrific job portraying stories from other characters perspective than Dresden.
