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. ( )

I only read two of the stories in the set. Just cause I like those authors and have read from their series. I haven't read Diana Rowland's zombie series, so that was interesting. The Seanan MacGuire and Kelley Armstrong story was okay, but not a twist I would have done. ( )

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. ( )
