Paranormal Payback
About This Book
Paranormal Payback is an urban fantasy anthology, edited by Jim Butcher and Kerrie L. Hughes, built around one idea: what happens when someone who has been wronged finally gets to even the score, and the world they live in is full of monsters, magic and old grudges. The justice on offer is rarely tidy, and the people chasing it may find the price higher than they expected. Butcher contributes a new Dresden Files story, "Mister Petty." A woman whose husband has cheated on her hires Goodman Grey, only to learn he is no ordinary private investigator. Grey is a professional monster, and he intends to set things right in his own fashion. Holly Black's "Dying Isn't Just for the Young" is set in a world ravaged by a vampirism-causing disease, where an elderly widow must fight relatives who are quietly plotting to strip her of her independence. Faith Hunter's "Razors and Revenge" finds vampire bounty hunter Shiloh waiting to hear her sentence from the Dark Queen. She has just survived a savage werewolf attack and lost a close friend, and she is changing into something more than a vampire, with wolfish urges that crave blood. Kim Harrison returns to the world of the Hollows in "Dog-eared," where the demon Algaliarept strikes a deal with Newt, the dangerously unstable last female demon. Their target is a haughty wizard who mistreated his treasured books of magic, and the question is how far Al will go to satisfy his spite. The collection also features stories by Jennifer Blackstream, Maurice Broaddus, Delilah S. Dawson, Kevin Hearne, Tanya Huff, Kerrie L. Hughes, R. L. King and R. R. Virdi, so readers of the genre will find plenty of familiar names and new voices alongside the headliners.
