The editors of Many Bloody Returns deliver the perfect howl-iday gift, with new tales from Patricia Briggs, Carrie Vaughn, and many more. New York Times bestselling authors Charlaine Harris, Patricia Briggs, Keri Arthur, and Carrie Vaughn—along with eleven other masters of the genre—offer all-new stories on werewolves and the holidays, a fresh variation on the concept that worked so well with birthdays and vampires in Many Bloody Returns. The holidays can bring out the beast in anyone. They are particularly hard for lycanthropes. Charlaine Harris and Toni L. P. Kelner have harvested the scariest, funniest and saddest werewolf tales by an outstanding pack of authors, best read by the light of a full moon with a silver bullet close at hand. Whether wolfing down a holiday feast (use your imagination) or craving some hair of the dog on New Year’s morning, the werewolves in these frighteningly original stories will surprise, delight, amuse, and scare the pants off readers who love a little wolfsbane with their mistletoe. |

 Written on October 10, 2008 Summary: Sookie short story for die hard fans..... I'm a HUGE fan of Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse series, Dead Until Dark (Southern Vampire Mysteries, No. 1), so I had to ge this from the library for the Sookie story alone. While I'm glad to get a Sookie fix between books, this short story isn't as good as the one in Many Bloody Returns (Sookie Stackhouse) which actually progressed her character. This installment left me feeling sad and a bit sorry for ole' Sook - which I've never felt before.  Written on October 9, 2008 Summary: A Must For Your Holiday Stocking! Wolfsbane and Mistletoe by Various Authors (Charlaine Harris, Patricia Briggs, Keri Arthur, Carrie Vaughn, J A Konrath etc.) If you're looking for the perfect way to find some new authors to read or just looking for some stories by your old time favorites, then this is going to be a 'howling' good book to read this holiday season. Every story has a holiday theme and every story is populated by werewolves; except for J A Konraths comedic tale which is populated by not only werewolves, but a were-boar, were-tortoise and a were-coral an Evil Were Hunting Santa Claus and a religious figure named Bob. Charlaine Harris' Sookie short story, was a lovely addition but in no way do I see it as a necessary read to go along with the series, Carrie Vaughn's addition takes place right before her third Kitty book. A number of authors that I would never have thought to try this type of story, have stepped up to bat, hit home runs and did an excellent job of it too. Most notably Dana Stabenow: the author of 16 "Kate Shugak Mysteries". Add this to your Christmas Wish list or run out and buy this and be prepared to be delighted as the werewolves take on Christmas in their very own ways. Written on October 9, 2008 Summary: merry werewolf Christmas In MANY BLOODY RETURNS, editors Charlaine Harris and Toni L. P. Kelner limited the scope to vampire birthdays. This time the pair restricted the topic to a merry werewolf Christmas. The results are similar as in spite of the incredibly narrow and restrictive theme, the fifteen contributors provide fresh interesting tales with no losers and star some of the more famous series characters like Sookie Stackhouse in "Gift Wrap" by Harris and radio talk host Kitty in "Il Est Ne" by Carrie Vaughn. Patricia Briggs' "The Star of David" showcases that even werewolves have family issues while Simon R. Green opens and closes with the memorable line of "You Never Forget your first" in his short short "Lucy, at Christmastime". Fans will enjoy this fine anthology whether it is a paranormal investigative tale (see "Christmas Past" by Keri Arthur) or half breeds (see "Rogue Elements" by Karen Chance) summed up nicely over "Milk and Cookies" (by Rob Thurman) as simply "You Better not Pyout" by Nancy Pickard. My only suggestion is to spread the compilation over the Twelve Days of Christmas (or longer) because singing Jingle Bells fifteen times in one sitting will lead to a Blue Christmas.
