Short stories but at least 60% of the book has previously been printed in other books, specifically the two I just read so this should only count as a half a book towards my quota for this year. However, the last part of the book were stories in the Vicki Nelson universe and so my next series to read starting today is Blood Ties...instead of the other vampire series I planned on reading. The new stories were as excellent and spooky as the ones I just read, in fact, I reread a couple just for the flavour. ( )

I haven't read much from this author, but this really makes me want to pick up some of her longer work. Good, tight short stories. Some very amusing, some kind of disturbing, but I didn't have the urge to skip any of them along the way--always a good sign. ( )

I love Tanya Huff. I love her short stories at least as much as, maybe more than, her novels. And this collection was actually copyedited, unlike the last one I read, so I have absolutely no quibbles. Fantastic. ( )

These stories show Tany Huff's amazing diversity. There are stories of quiet, haunting horror; stories of magic and of mystery; and even a wonderfully tongue-in-cheek space opera story. This collection shows the breadth of Huff's skills, and she proves that she is quite capable of delivering a mystery with a private detective turned vampire, or an attack of a foot-and-a-half long dragon, or a tale of ghosts in the subway that will incite feelings of slight claustrophobic for a day or two.

I highly suggest this collection of Huff's 15 short stories from the late 80's thru the late 90's ( )

(Amy) A collection of Tanya Huff's delightful stories. I desperately need to re-read this, but I do recall being enchanted by the slices of time from universes she'd created elsewhere, and entertained by the standalone stories as well. ( )
