From the link: In #1 New York Times bestselling author Jim Butcher’s “Little Things,” the pixie Toot-Toot discovers an invader unbeknownst to the wizard Harry Dresden . . . and in order to defeat it, he’ll have to team up with the dread cat Mister.

So it's a story about Toot toot and Mister, can't wait.

It appears to be

I mean, Jim Butcher doesn't have a copyright on urban fantasy. This does appear to be very derivative, at least in the covers and titles.

How about a Dresden clone on Mars?

(Disclaimer, I'm the guy who wrote 'em).

You need a Restoration of Faith my friend! He's busy but I believe he'll get there! Also have you seen his wife? OMG! I wouldn't be writing as fast either.

Ish? If you a custom rPi version, you can make it anydamnthing you please. An actual echo, not so much.

If you’re interested: https://lifehacker.com/how-to-build-your-own-amazon-echo-with-a-raspberry-pi-1787726931

He goes through (roughly) one of these per month, so that's $100, but he also gets it mixed in with this which lasts about 2 months. So about $115 per month which actually isn't terrible.

The real issues are the vets fees. Everything is more expensive when you're the size of a small horse.

While not similar as such, I would recommend "Laundry Files", it takes the magic aspect and turns it into a sort of technological thing, meaning that if you want to summon a horror from another dimension, you don't need a summoning circle or a pentagram drawn in the blood of a goat and sacrificing a virgin, when it is much more effective to do it using a laser beam and a capacitor that is sufficiently big.

The series is about Bob Howard, an IT geek in the top secret british deparment called the laundry, they handle all the paranormal threats to the kingdom, he is tired of being a deskjockey and goes into active service.

The series is Lovecraftian inspired and mixes spy thriller stuff into it as well. Book 9 is released soon, and, if I recall correctly, the series is set to be around 13 books total, ending in what is called "case nightmare green", one of several end of the world scenarios hinted at in the books. My biggest annoyance is that audible has removed the original narrator (Gideon Emery) and replaced them with Jack Hawkins(with that said: I am sure he is good narrator, it is just weird to have the characters voices change).

Kevin Hearne published it on his Facebook, thats where I saw it first. I looked for it afterwards and its already on Amazon and Simon & Schuster. If it is fake, I'd say its big enough to make me believe it.

I tried using TunnelBear to connect to a canada server and login to my amazon.com account. Amazon was too smart and just tells me that product is not for sale. :( otherwise i was gonna see if for 2.99 it would download to my kindle and work. (This worked with xbox live game pass with a vpn to brazil) Would love to complete my digital collection, but i put most of my money toward my hardcover collection.

St. Mary's and Eternal Silence were like that for me. Though one thing that I just didn't really get before going there, is just how HUGE Graceland Cemetery is.

Seriously.

If you haven't read them, check out Jane Lindskold's Athanor books (<em>Changer: A Novel of the Athanor</em> and <em>Legends Walking</em> (AKA <em>Changer's Daughter</em>.) You may have to go the used bookstore route. Lindskold was a student (and companion) of Roger Zelazny and these two books share his fascination with the braided layers of folklore. The idea is the Athanor are a race that has lived with us since the beginning, not quite gods, though they have been called such, and not at all mortal. One of the primary characters has been Arthur, Freyr, Gilgamesh, and several others, always trying to impose order on chaos, and he is trying to keep his people hidden and thriving in the modern world. You also have Athena, Merlin, Duppy Jonah, Shango, Anansi the Spider, and Enkidu the Wildman, among many others. There are also the non-human passing Athanor (sasquatch, satyrs, fauns, tengu, and more) who are tired of hiding. All of which swirls around the mystery of who killed the Changer's (the oldest of the Athanor) family. They are two outstanding novels, and another track on the idea of the gods still around.

looks like I need a re-read.. You are correct.. -1 fan.

https://www.justwatch.com/us/tv-show/the-dresden-files

Note, change country code if you are in a different region

Edit: for those unaware, just watch allows you to find platforms that host a particular show or movie. That way you are not looking through every streaming service one at a time.

If you haven't already read Jim's other series The Codex Alera, I highly recommend it. Also the Demon Cycle by Peter Brett is also good.

I had never heard of that author or series before, but I looked it up: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/de-novo-syndrome-jim-buckner/1115085500?ean=2940016690872

That cover would be extremely easy to mistake for a Dresden novel from a distance. Both names start with "Jim Bu", it uses the same (or very similar font), same text layout above/below the picture, and "A novel of the D___ Files" at the bottom.

I would not be surprised at all if this was intentional, not by the author but by the publisher, working on the "Oh, they're kind of sort of the same genre, let's cash in" assumption.

Good to hear the text of the book itself is at least not a rip-off.

I searched for the hardcover format on Book Depository and found these: http://www.bookdepository.com/search?searchTerm=dresden+files&amp;searchSortBy=&amp;category=&amp;price=&amp;availability=&amp;searchLang=&amp;format=2

Amazing website, has free shipping and all :)

Edit: They're around $30NZD

Because the ninja turtles got pulled through a dimensional portal and ended up in Gotham City.

EDIT: Fixed link.

There's a guide around here though it's from several years ago; I don't know how much has changed, but probably not much. I also love using the Reddit Enhancement Suite because it adds, among many other useful things, a preview box so you can see if you've formatted something right before you submit it.

I suggest giving the iron druid chronicles a try:

www.shelfari.com/series/The-Iron-Druid-Chronicles

I also recommend the following: * The nekropolis series * The Remy Chandler series

and these already mentioned ones: * Nightside * Sandman Slim

One note on your Spider-Man point: Not sure if you knew it, but Jim is not only a huge Spider-Man fan himself, but he’s actually written a Spider-Man novel himself. So if Dresden is calling to mind Spidey cliches or tropes, that’s not out of nowhere - that’s one actual underlying influence here.

It's part of the short-story collection Unfettered II (Shawn Speakman, editor), now on sale at Amazon (and possibly other places as well).

Amazon link here.

That's a BS excuse from them if they've claimed it, frankly - they managed to publish Count of Monte Cristo just fine, and that's 1276 pages sold for $21 in hardback. (They have a whole classics collection that's full of 1000+ pagers that they managed without problem.)

It's that they didn't want to.

Whenever Harry is next being overwhelmed by something else and she sees an opportunity to capitalize on. Mavra is somewhat of a bottom feeder and scavenger. Make no mistake, she's incredibly powerful, dangerous, and smart. However she is just about the single most actively hunted form of supernatural out there. Everyone knows how to kill Black Court vampires. The only way you survive like that is to pick the low hanging fruit and keep a low profile. She's not going to strike at Harry as an enemy, she's more likely to try and leverage something against him, like she already did with Karen.

She's a bottom feeder. What makes her so dangerous is that she knows she's a bottom feeder and she works with it to its full advantage. She doesn't put on false airs, she doesn't outplay her hand, and she knows when to admit defeat and not get killed. The Art of War "If you know your enemy and you know yourself you need not fear the results of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself you will succumb in every battle."

Mavra knows herself and she thinks she knows Harry. That's what makes her dangerous. Most of Harry's foes have oversold themselves, or underestimated Harry, Mavra doesn't do either.

The Dresden Files Omnibus is the best start, it contains the first graphic novel Welcome to the Jungle - which in my opinion is still the best. Storm Front, Fool Moon and a mini comic of the short story Restoration of Faith.

Outside of that I'd say my next favourite is War Cry.

I hear you can get them for incredibly cheap if you purchase the Kindle editions of the books, totaling something like 14 dollars for both. Here's a page I found about it.

There's also the torrent path if you're ok with that, considering you've already purchased the entire book set I think you would be justified.

REJOICE!

P.S. If the link doesn't work, bookdepository.com and search for "fool moon butcher" without the quotations marks; there should be 2 currently available options in hardback. Book Depository can be great when you're looking for something relatively rare or out of print. I've managed to find almost anything there and the fact that shipping is free on everything with no minimum is amazing.

Here's a list of everything in <em>Brief Cases</em>. "Cold Case," the story in Shadowed Souls, will be in there - in fact, as far as I can tell, every single short story that didn't make Side Jobs is in Brief Cases.

Since you like the audiobooks - and who wouldn't? - Marsters has already recorded all three "Bigfoot" stories as the anthology <em>Working for Bigfoot</em>. That could scratch your Butcher/Marsters itch until they get around to releasing Brief Cases in audio.

No idea where it is, though u/Hazelstone37 and u/MonarKay did perfectly. Thanks for that, you two.

Though for uploading images to Reddit, you'll want to upload it elsewhere first (most people use Imgur, though anything works, I personally like using ShareX quick image uploading), then link it in the comment.

Oh wait, you are /u/Hazelstone37, this is what I get for not reading names before I start typing!

How long it was? Because if it's more than 1 hour long, then probably it was the episode i watched, the "2 hour" thing was in TV, long episode with breaks, the one i watched had 1:24 hours.

EDIT: Here's the link for torrent Pilot.

Yeah I think something like this is what he used in grave Peril, but the t shirt method from changes would definitely work.

It's a bit bigger in the graphic novels.

I just have to say Thank you again. My wife thought the video was great. She wants to watch all his reviews in order and then read Peace Talks.

I told her to get busy. The next book comes out in September!

What app are you using? I checked on the regular website, and on Sync for Reddit and the capital U doesn't work in either.

Fugitive hasn’t been released yet. It comes out March 7 and is part of an anthology. It will be ebook and paperback - Amazon.com https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BJ2S88P5?ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_ts_4H5JFE83YQ1BX3QYHSAE

The Law was released on Kindle, Audible, and that Subterranean Press printing.

I found a used copy of fool moon for sale online. Here's the link http://www.barnesandnoble.com/mobile/p/jim-butchers-the-dresden-files-jim-butcher/1112879397/2674054248978?st=PLA&amp;sid=BNB_DRS_Marketplace+Shopping+Books_00000000&amp;2sid=Google_&amp;sourceId=PLGoP3389&amp;k_clickid=3x3389

>At the moment, work on "The Olympus Affair" is halted, 1-2 chapters of "Twelve Months" have been written, and it's quite possible "Little Things" and "The Law" is most of Jim's writing since he split Peace Talks into two parts in Winter, 2020.

He's written more than that. There's a new short story coming next year. My apologies for not having updated the site about it yet. I'm younger than Jim but I don't have any doubt that he'll finish Dresden. He loves that story too much to leave it untold.

There was a similar comment on the Rivers Of London group here on Reddit. Here's a link to purchase the entire series, or at least the novels: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074CGN8YC?binding=kindle_edition&amp;searchxofy=true&amp;ref_=dbs_s_aps_series_rwt_tkin&amp;qid=1666157186&amp;sr=8-2

&#x200B;

Please be aware that there are also three novellas, one compendium of short stories (so far), and ten graphic novels, which won't be included in the link above. All are canon and plot-relevant. One doesn't need to read the comics or the short stories to be fully up-to-date, but they do fill in some details which are referenced in the main books.

FYI, there are two or three shoutouts to Dresden Files scattered throughout the series. More to the point, there's a ton of pop culture references that fans of DF will enjoy, but enough British cultural differences to make it worthwhile to look up.

You may also want to utilize the Libby app to be able to borrow the ebooks from your local library; it interfaces with the Kindle app.

Enjoy!

I really liked the series as a whole. I liked that the MC isn't simply OP and destroys his enemies by waving his hands around. He out thinks and out maneuvers them. Even in the last few books when he becomes Uber powerful he still doesn't fight fair. FYI, I'm sure if your'e aware or not, but Mr Jacka is releasing a new short story set four months after the events of the last book. It's up for pre-order on Amazon now: https://www.amazon.com/Gardens-Alex-Verus-short-story-ebook/dp/B0BJGW8X9Z/ref=sr_1_2?crid=3SRQPN5HXPZ12&amp;keywords=the+garden&amp;qid=1666164049&amp;qu=eyJxc2MiOiI0LjA4IiwicXNhIjoiMy4zNyIsInFzcCI6IjMuMTEifQ%3D%3D&amp;s=digital-text&amp;sprefix=the+garden%2Cdigital-text%2C191&amp;sr=1-2

It's part of a compilation called Heroic Hearts. It is the first story in the compilation. The first story (in it's entirety) is part of a free sample for the paperback version of the book on Amazon.

https://www.amazon.com/Heroic-Hearts-Jim-Butcher/dp/0593099184/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&amp;qid=1658680137&amp;sr=8-1

I was just messing around with a flashlight. Maybe something like this could work for hands-free lighting? That would be cool to see some wizard light in the wild while gathering supplies at Wal-Mart!

You can order the Kindle on Amazon

As for print copies, Subterranean Press was releasing copies but they're out of stock. I'm not sure if they're restocking anytime soon.

There is an ebook version! The page for preordering the story just went live today, you can see it here. No audio necessary!

If you mean Toot-Toot's story, "Little Things," you can actually read it for free on Amazon by going to the page for Heroic Hearts and clicking "Look inside." The entire story is in the preview.

It's in one of those little plastic "coin purses" that are shaped kind of like a football and you squeeze the ends to make it open up. Like these:

https://www.amazon.com/Made-Oval-Squeeze-Coin-Purse/dp/B0037NM8UC/ref=mp_s_a_1_14?crid=UTXYM68AOV77&amp;keywords=hello+kitty+plastic+coin+pouch&amp;qid=1653012759&amp;sprefix=hello+kitty+%2Caps%2C131&amp;sr=8-14

You can read it through the preview of Heroic Hearts on Amazon here.

Click on the Heroic Hearts icon (paperback version).

I’m in that zone myself. Last read through I had to scrounge paper copies. Your post inspired me to see if they’re on Kindle, where I do almost all my reading. I was delighted to see that they are! I splurged: https://www.amazon.com/The-Chronicles-of-Amber-10-book-series/dp/B075V7ZVKR

Thanks, but I ended up finding it and ordering it on Amazon for cheaper :)

Chuck Rogers books Heroes Road 1 & 2 (with #3 on the horizon) are great - hard to describe the genre - but really enjoyable https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01FL8C9IQ/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_4BQAKYZQ1PNNDTHCWSTM

That picture of that church you linked does look taller than St. Mary's, but I don't think I did a very good job of getting the scale of the building very well.

It really does take up an entire city block. What I showed was about 1/3 of the building. The rest of it isn't anywhere near as ornate, and is more functional looking, and a large part is what I believe is a school, though, so I didn't take pictures of it. I took pictures of what I thought was being referenced whenever Jim described it.

It might not have the height of some churches, but it's still freaking huge.

Nope. $15 is just the physical copy of Fate Accelerated Edition, which is different from Dresden Files Accelerated. They're not offering physical copies of Dresden Accelerated in this Kickstarter--that'll come later.

There's a handy yellow chart with concentric shapes about halfway down this page that explains all the various pledge price points. You can also consult this spreadsheet.

I know this doesn't count as art, but it's my favorite DF Etsy purchase yet. I'm hoping to get his trenchcoat signed by Jim and Marsters at a con.

I'm not sure what you mean. Audible lists Changes as book 12, then Ghost Story as 13, and Cold Days as 14.

https://www.audible.com/series?asin=B005NB2IG0

The numbering they picked for the side stories and collections is a bit strange in my opinion.

Audible does have the Marsters reading for Ghost Story. Yes the book is worthwhile to read.

I've also been reading the Nightside series by Simon Green. While I don't feel quite as emotionally invested in the story as I do with other books, they're still an interesting read.

Ok, this isn't exactly what you want, but depending on how fancy you want to get you might find some pointers here (like say if you want runes that light up). It's an Instructable on how to make Gandalf's staff. His is fancier than you'd want for a Dresden staff, though.

https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#label/Organizer%2FInstructables/WhctKJWQhnBpsFvVPVdMjldgkLQKzhcQZcHznHddTgBqNDCcSnXZtdPSbdFXjZftLRmlGgg

Yup - sidhe is pronounced "shee"! See pronunciation here, for instance. It's old Irish spelling and pronunciation. As noted above, the more well-known word "banshee" is a spelling derived from the same root word, demonstrating how it's pronounced!

Sith is pronounced in the Dresden books as rhyming with "with".

Marcone seems to be pronounced as rhyming with Corleone, though in the first couple of audiobooks it is pronounced with the "ee" sound at the end. It seems like that was a mistake given how it changes after that.

For those who didn't experience them (or have forgotten), these babies didn't require electricity, and when the power went out, you could call your friends to see if theirs was out, too!

I don't think supernatural creatures are necessarily without souls. Harry soulgazed Thomas after all (granted, you could argue he was soul gazing a mortal and not the Hunger, but to me that feels like splitting hairs). Some probably don't: I wouldn't be surprised if Blampires no longer had souls, and powerful enough beings like gods and Faerie Queens and angels and Shagnasty may be beyond soul gazes.

It's possible the Kraken just had a soul Harry could gaze at. On the other hand, I really like your idea of it being a Fomor construct made from one or more mortals. We haven't gotten nearly enough fey body horror vibes in the Dresden Files, and I would always be down with more SCP-4000 and The Call vibes.

It's absolutely true it was a money grab. How much did each book individually sell for when they were first out? $27ish I think on amazon and other online retailers. Original hardback was listed at 28 on (amazon)[https://www.amazon.com/Battle-Ground-Dresden-Files-Butcher/dp/0593199308/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?dchild=1&amp;keywords=peace+talks+jim+butcher&amp;qid=1628761024&amp;sprefix=peace&amp;sr=8-4]

27x2= 54

So the price of 2 books was more expensive than it would have been for 1 larger book, that's not saving his readers any money. I like this series but let's not pretend that it wasn't a money grab because they thought the readers would put up with it after a long wait.

There were these star wars toys they used to sell that I and my brother absolutely loved. They looked waaaay different than they do now but I feel like there's still some resemblance there.

It’s from the anthology “Parallel Worlds: The Heroes Within.” I’m pretty sure it only comes in ebook form. I got mine on kindle:Amazon

I think the guy I did it for got the car on Amazon...

https://www.amazon.com/Classic-Volkwagen-Beetle-Action-Kinsmart/dp/B00FYWBC06/ref=pd_sim_21_2?_encoding=UTF8&amp;pd_rd_i=B00FYWBC06&amp;pd_rd_r=9267d3b4-0942-11e9-9168-57fd22f7428f&amp;pd_rd_w=xQNOb&amp;pd_rd_wg=49K3f&amp;pf_rd_p=18bb0b78-4200-49b...

Pretty sure it was that one. Then paints and shipping... I could do it for $40.

You could always try the series that is almost a complete copy of the Dresden Files

Disclaimer: I haven't read it, but the reviews of those who have said it's okay. Not good, not great, but not terrible, either. And it certainly would scratch the Dresden itch, given how close it looks like it is in characters, style, and tone.

Does this help for a starting point?

The Dresden Files, Books 1-5 (Storm Front/Fool Moon/Grave Peril/Summer Night/Death Masks) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00578RG98/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_rrfzFbAVDCJZF

I had considered that but with hand size that would feel like having a 2x4 for a handle. It gets real uncomfortable trying to control properly. While a Glamdring letter opener with enchantment for strength would look and feel awesome.

> I just think it's important to recognize that sometimes we as consumers make certain assumptions about how certain businesses work even though we don't have all the information...

I have worked with OEMs and distribution before, so I've got an idea how this works. Printing services are essentially a commodity priced product - all the "big 5" are going to pay [essentially] the same for a similar product.

If PRH is able to print the Malazan books (~800+pps each) in hardcover, they could print the [theoretical] "Full Peace Talks" for about the same price.

Maybe it has to do with scale or sales projections - they expect Butcher to sell better (which it will), meaning a bigger RISK of printing too many hardcovers and taking a loss. That is what I suspect actually happened, not "they can't print it because it would be $80", because the market wouldn't bear that (no retailer would order at that price). They didn't want to risk a flop, and it is a much bigger risk to print, say, a million copies of this theoretical book than it would be to print the ~60k copies of Malazan...

Because Ace is willing to print another 1200pp-monstrosity for Sanderson, and it is still around $40 MSRP for the hardcover! This year.

There is something else going on here, but I don't think we'll ever really learn what. I don't think it is straight-up greed (though I do think that played into it), but I also don't believe for a second that their stated reason is "truth". It is probably several factors, in any case!

> I agree their excuse made no sense.

It is a piss-poor excuse. Also, Tor publishes books that length and they are around the same retail price as those published by Ace!

> we're talking a $70-80 book

Words of Radiance is 50% longer than Battle Grounds and Peace Talks put together. Retail price? $37.99

Your argument makes no rational sense. Neither did their excuse.

I'm still buying both books. (And the next SA book, for that matter!)

That's a great metaphor. Also a reminder that my wife is always, always going to beat me at that game. I like White too much. Just bought her this for her birthday.

That isn’t how it works, he draws enough water that he could take his ball and go home. He was approached with a lucrative offer to split, and decided the money was worth it

They published hardcover deluxe dune 688 pages by Ace books of Penguin Random House in 2019, sells for 26 dollars on amazon, 39.99 MSRP for the deluxe materials

https://www.amazon.com/Dune-Deluxe-Frank-Herbert/dp/059309932X/ref=nodl_

They have a hardcover copy of Dune on amazon published by Ace (which is the imprint that publishes Dresden) of Penguin Random House that is 688 pages, Amazon is selling it for 26 bucks, MSRP is slightly more expensive than the 29.99 or 34.99 of the giant epic fantasy novels being 39.99. So not 50.00, published in 2019 so it isn’t like this was old bindery equipment that got decommissioned.

https://www.amazon.com/Dune-Deluxe-Frank-Herbert/dp/059309932X/ref=nodl_

28 freaking dollars!? I got the audiobook for $15.

I can understand people being annoyed at the short length for that price. I can't understand why you'd pay that price when Amazon is selling the hardback for less than $18 though.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/0451464419/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_GlfeFbDBMQX3M

Seems like both are doing "that Black Friday thing where they jack up the price and then put in on discount so you feel like you got a deal"

Which Amazon are you looking at? It's definitely two words on Amazon US - https://www.amazon.com/Battle-Ground-Dresden-Files-Book-ebook/dp/B0867ZMV2S/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?dchild=1&amp;keywords=battle+ground+dresden+files+book+17&amp;qid=1594774958&amp;sprefix=battle+ground&amp;sr=8-2

Honestly just search for "decorative skull" on amazon and pick one, there are dozens of varieties.

I actually found it cheapest on Amazon: Lord of The Rings Single Volume Trilogy

Gorgeous. Can't wait to dive back in this October.

Amazon among other places. https://www.amazon.com/Jim-Butchers-Dresden-Files-Omnibus/dp/1606906631/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1534985230&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=Dresden+files+comic+books&amp;dpID=617FwnEyVeL&amp;preST=_SY291_BO1,204,203,200_QL40_&amp;dpSrc=srch

Sky Dragons did get released around 6 months after her death.

I also just discovered this coming later this year: https://smile.amazon.com/Dragons-Code-Anne-McCaffreys-Dragonriders/dp/110196474X/

All I can figure he's referring to is Working for Bigfoot and the announced, written, and to-be-released-summer-2018 Brief Cases.

One series that hasn't been mentioned yet is the King Henry Price Tapes books. Yes, the name is silly and confusing, but they're books.

They were all free to read with Amazon prime when I read them, I'm not sure if they still are.

Is Bigfoot on campus the college One? That's the finale book in the trilogy. The easiest place to find it is on Amazon called working for bigfoot

Cool! In that case I hope he updates it to match the reality. Aaand, I'm off to find a copy.

I know this is probably a mistake, but the audio cd on amazon is selling for $76.99

It's in Shadowed Souls, Amazon non-affiliate Smile link: https://smile.amazon.com/Shadowed-Souls-Jim-Butcher/dp/0451474996/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1479605708&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=shadowed+souls

We actually don't know at what point Lea was released from her imprisonment. Although it does create a bit of a plot hole with Changes, since Harry says:

> The last time I'd seen my faerie godmother, she had been ranting and raving in a couple of distinct personalities and voices while half-entombed in a sheet of ice at the heart of the Winter Court.

Soooo...Methinks someone is falling down on the continuity ball. Likely Jim and his loyal beta-foos aren't going through the comics as stringently as they cover the novels and short stories, if at all. This is why I think everyone needs a version of Robin Furth (the woman Stephen King hired to help him keep track of things during the writing of the latter parts of The Dark Towers series.). The Concordance she ended up putting together is not only highly interesting, it helped King avoid this sort of basic, "Well shit, I didn't realize there's no way Lea could've been present at that point" nonsense.

I picked up this shirt a few years ago, though not from Amazon. I love it. Great quality, subtle enough that most people don't give it a second look.

Edit: Probably got it here.

I've looked over the rules of this subreddit to make sure this isn't looked down upon, and since you asked: I'd recommend Seven Devils - the first book in my urban fantasy series. It's my own take on the genre, set in South Texas and exploring the superstitions and organized crime of the area. The Dresden Files was certainly a big inspiration and I think any fan of it would enjoy my attempt. Hope you check it out!

Andrew Moczulski's Slayer of Evil (Prices Negotiable) is akin to 'the Dresden Files set permanently on comedy mode'. It's a series of light, short, urban fantasy reads, but if a fun time is what you're looking for, they're not half bad.

I think all the bigfoot short stories have been collected into one book.

Here we go, it's a limited edition high quality Subterranean Press volume.

OK, found the cheaper Amazon version.

Libriomancer (Magic Ex Libris) by Jim C. Hines

I don't want to spoil anything, so I'll just say this. The premise is a lot smarter than it initially comes across as.

There are a little more lighthearted than Dresden, but I enjoyed the Dan Shamble (Zombie PI) books by Kevin J. Anderson. http://www.amazon.com/Death-Warmed-Over-Shamble-Zombie/dp/0758277342/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1428949717&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=Dan+Shamble Similar in tone and quirky events of the world after the "Big Uneasy."

There is Even Hand (my personal favorite), the story from Marcone's perspective.

It can be found in the Dark and Stormy Knights anthology.

I don't see why he wouldn't carry around some iron powder, ($22 for a pound on Amazon), and use fozare to whip it around faery creatures. Somewhat limited application, but seems pretty safe for the norms.
