Part of Series
Two brand new tales anchor this wide-ranging collection from one of urban fantasy's most successful authors. Here is the first time that best-selling fantasy, YA, and crime author Kelley Armstrong has had her stories collected from Otherworld and beyond. With her signature twists and turns, Armstrong gives a fresh spin on city-dwelling vampires, werewolves, and zombies, while also traveling further afield, to a post-apocalyptic fortress, a superstitious village, a supernatural brothel, and even to feudal Japan. With tales that range from humorous to heart-stopping, these are the stories that showcase Kelley Armstrong at her versatile best. - Rakshashi (standalone) - Kat (Darkest Powers universe, non-series narrator) - A Haunted House of Her Own (standalone) - Learning Curve (Otherworld universe, Zoe) - The Screams of Dragons (#0.5 Cainsville universe, non-series narrator) - The Kitsune’s Nine Tales (Age of Legends universe, non-series narrator) - Last Stand (standalone) - Bamboozled (Otherworld universe, non-series narrator) - Branded (Otherworld universe, non-series narrator) - The List (Otherworld universe, Zoe) - Young Bloods (Otherworld universe, non-series narrator) - The Door (standalone, original to this collection) - Dead Flowers by a Roadside (standalone) - Suffer the Children (standalone) - The Collector (standalone) - Gabriel’s Gargoyles (#3.1 Cainsville universe, Gabriel) - Harbinger (standalone) - V Plates (Otherworld universe, Nick) - Life Sentence (Otherworld universe, non-series narrator) - Plan B (standalone) - The Hunt (#4.1 Cainsville universe, non-series narrator) - Dead to Me (standalone) - Devil May Care (#4.2 Cainsville universe, Patrick, original to this collection)
Author
Kelley Armstrong has been telling stories since before she could write. Her earliest written efforts were disastrous. If asked for a story about girls and dolls, hers would invariably feature undead girls and evil dolls, much to her teachers' dismay. All efforts to make her produce "normal" stories failed. Today, she continues to spin tales of ghosts and demons and werewolves, while safely locked away in her basement writing dungeon. She's the author of the NYT-bestselling "Women of the Otherworld" paranormal suspense series and "Darkest Powers" young adult urban fantasy trilogy, as well as the Nadia Stafford crime series. Armstrong lives in southwestern Ontario with her husband, kids and far too many pets.
