I think I would have liked several of these stories better if I were familiar with the series they were based on. May revisit once I have tried some more from these authors. ( ) This new anthology from Harper Voyager features paired urban fantasy authors bringing their series together to take on demons, haunted houses, and twisted not-so-mythological creatures. It was interesting to see how the authors decided to cross their universes, too. Some had their characters inhabit the same world, while others found overlapping dimensions through interdimensional bubbles or fairyland. Some of my favorite stories were set in series that I'm not that familiar, or I only know one of the authors. Also, some of these tales are DARK. I'm talking, don't read during a power outage or during a deep depression. The writing is consistently good throughout, with great suspense and wonderful teasers for what goes on in their full novels. Woohoo Urban Fantasy! Zwanzig Autoren, zehn Geschichten - da passt was nicht? Doch, wenn jeweils zwei Autoren ihre Figuren in eine gemeinsame Geschichte verwickeln. Das gelingt hier sehr gut. Ich kenne die Mehrzahl der Autoren und der Urban-Fantasy-Welten nicht, unterhaltsam waren sie dennoch alle. Am Besten gefallen hat mit - wenig überraschend - Larry Correia und John Maberrys "Weaponized Hell", war Correia doch derjenige, der mich auf diese Anthologie aufmerksam gemacht hat. Nassise und Sam Witt werfen ebenfalls gut bewaffnete Kämpfertypen in die Schlacht gegen das Böse, letzteres in Form von dämonischen Schweinen! Die beiden Serien werde ich mir durchaus mal genauer anschauen. Bei manch anderen bin ich mir noch nicht so sicher, wobei zumindest Joanne Walker sollte sich auch noch mal auf meiner Leseliste einfinden. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
