Fantasy. Fiction. Thriller. HTML:The ancient gods are alive and well in the modern world in this hilarious, action-packed collection of original short stories featuring Atticus O'Sullivan, the two-thousand-year-old Irishman from Kevin Hearne's New York Times bestselling Iron Druid Chronicles.
  • In ancient Egypt, Atticus agrees to raid a secret chamber underneath the library of Alexandria, dodging deadly traps, only to learn that on-site security includes two members of the Egyptian pantheon.
  • At a Kansas carnival, fun and games turns to murder and mayhem, thanks to soul-snatching demons and flesh-craving ghouls luring visitors into an all-too-real house of horrors.
  • Verily, in olde England, striking up a friendship with William Shakespeare lands both Atticus and the Bard in boiling hot water with a trio of infamous witches.
  • During the Gold Rush, the avatar of greed himself turns the streets of San Francisco red with blood and upsets the elemental Sequoia. Atticus may have to fight fire with fire if he's going to restore balance.
    More, you say? Indeed there isâ??including bogeymen, vampire hordes, wrathful wraiths, and even a journey to the realm of the dead. Prepare to be besieged with nine tantalizing talesâ??not to be missed, never to be forgotten.
    Praise for Kevin Hearne's Iron Druid Chronicles
    "Clever, fast paced and a good escape."â??Jason Weisberger, Boing Boing
    "Celtic mythology and an ancient Druid with modern attitude mix it up in the Arizona desert in this witty new fantasy series."â??Kelly Meding, author of Chimera
    "Outrageously fun."â??The Plain Dealer, on Hounded
    "Superb . . . plenty of quips and zap-pow-bang fighting."â??Publishers Weekly (starred review), on Hounded
    "An exciting mix of comedy, action, and mythology . . . [Atticus] is one of the best main characters currently present in the urban fantasy genre."â??Fantasy Book Critic, on Tricked

Nice collection of short stories. ( )

Glad this is winding down. ( )

It's nice to spend time with Atticus at al. while awaiting the next installment. Some of the stories are stronger than others, and I'm not in love with the ones narrated by the Archdruid and Perun -- specifically because their accents are so thickly written that their voices are almost parodies. I understand why the choice was made, but I find that choice more palatable in short bursts than over a multi-page story. Does fill in the gaps nicely, though, and leaves me eager for Scourged (and also concerned that Atticus will not survive it. NOOOOOOOO! Nicely played, Hearne, nicely played.) ( )

This is a collection of Iron Druid stories that fit in various places in the story line, though it is best if you read it just before reading the final book, or just skip it all together. These stories really don't add much to the plot or the characters. There's some Atticus vs. demon stories, Atticus back in the old days stories, some Granuaile stories and some others that just don't fit well. The Granuaile stories were probably the best and most interesting. ( )
