Blick - this didn't leave much of an impressionThe Nightside, Needless to Say by Simon R. Green - I had already read this so I skipped it.The Adakian Eagle by Bradley Denton - This story makes me want to learn more about Alaska during WWII.Love Hurts by Jim Butcher - OK. I don't follow the Harry Dresden series.The Case of Death and Honey by Neil Gaiman - this didn't leave much of an impression.Cryptic Coloration by Elizabeth Bear - I give this extra points for the ending.The Necromancer’s Apprentice by Lillian Stewart Carl - blahThe Case of the Stalking Shadow by Joe R. Lansdale - Good, I should read some of his other works.Hecate’s Golden Eye by P.N. Elrod - I had already read this so I skipped it.Defining Shadows by Carrie Vaughn - I hate this story.

The usual hard-boiled private investigator with a predictable paranormal twist.Fox Tails by Richard Parks - I will have to try some of his other works.Death by Dahlia by Charlaine Harris - I had already read this so I skipped it.Sherlock Holmes and the Diving Bell by Simon Clark - Sir, you are no Arthur Conan DoyleSee Me by Tanya Huff - I had already read this so I skipped it.The Maltese Unicorn by Caitlín R. Kiernan - the reason I checked out this book. It lived up to my expectations.
