(A sort of "selective" review...)

I love the Dresden Files! This book contains four short stories from well-known authors, using their popular main character. I hadn't even heard of the the other three authors.

Harry Dresden is the only wizard listed in the phone book. Just don't ask him to make a love potion. In a previous book, Harry' friend and "co-worker" wields a Sword of the Cross but is critically injured during one of Harry's plans gone awry. Butcher doesn't tell you what happened to Michael, only alludes to him in a later book as "retired." This short story shows what Michael's life is like now, without the sword or full use of his body. Good enough tale, although not as intriguing as some of Butcher's longer plots.

Of the three other stories, I've decided that one author is definitely not worth my time, another is only so-so, but the third is interesting enough that I picked up the first book in her series earlier today.
