À propos de cet audio

 An all-new Dresden Files story headlines this urban fantasy short story collection starring the Windy City's favorite wizard.

The world of Harry Dresden, Chicago's only professional wizard, is rife with intrigue--and creatures of all supernatural stripes. And you'll make their intimate acquaintance as Harry delves into the dark side of truth, justice, and the American way in this must-have short story collection.

From the Wild West to the bleachers at Wrigley Field, humans, zombies, incubi, and even fey royalty appear, ready to blur the line between friend and foe. In the never-before-published "Zoo Day," Harry treads new ground as a dad, while fan-favorite characters Molly Carpenter, his onetime apprentice, White Council Warden Anastasia Luccio, and even Bigfoot stalk through the pages of more classic tales.

With twelve stories in all, Brief Cases offers both longtime fans and first-time readers tantalizing glimpses into Harry's funny, gritty, and unforgettable realm, whetting their appetites for more to come from the wizard with a heart of gold.

Ce que les critiques en disent

Praise for Jim Butcher and the Dresden Files

“Think Buffy the Vampire Slayer starring Philip Marlowe.”—Entertainment Weekly

“Superlative.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“One of the most enjoyable marriages of the fantasy and mystery genres on the shelves.”—Cinescape

“Butcher...spins an excellent noirish detective yarn in a well-crafted, supernaturally charged setting. The supporting cast is again fantastic, and Harry’s wit continues to fly in the face of a peril-fraught plot.”—Booklist (starred review)

“What’s not to like about this series?...It takes the best elements of urban fantasy, mixes it with some good old-fashioned noir mystery, tosses in a dash of romance and a lot of high-octane action, shakes, stirs, and serves.”—SF Site

“A tricky plot complete with against-the-clock pacing, firefights, explosions, and plenty of magic. Longtime series fans as well as newcomers drawn by the SciFi Channel’s TV series based on the novels should find this supernatural mystery a real winner.”—Library Journal

“What would you get if you crossed Spenser with Merlin? Probably you would come up with someone very like Harry Dresden, wizard, tough guy and star of [the Dresden Files].”—The Washington Times

I just wish I knew all the bigfoot stories were included in this book but still loved it!

Marvelous!

Overall I lived the ride. But my favourite story was the trip to the zoo.

Please give me more Moly and Mouse.

This is one awesome book.

All narrators were great! I really enjoyed the stories! I hope there's a lot more to come.

Fantastic storytelling!

I liked how there were stories that focused on characters who were not Dresden and that dealt with situations he was absent from, particularly one focused on Luccio set in the old west, and another with Murphy where she has to deal with the Fomor without backup from Dresden.
Another favourite is a sequence where we finally get to see Dresden spent real time with his kid and he takes her to the zoo. We get it from his perspective, his kid's perspective, and even the point of view of Mouse. When they are all put together it's satisfying to see how much more was going on than any one character was aware of and how much each of them was dealing with things the other two were unaware of.

There are a few Molly stories. It's nice to see more of what she went through but on the other hand an aspect of how the author writes her character gets a bit tiresome. We get it, Molly is super hot, and a young woman, and so attractive and young!, and willing to use her hotness for the greater good! There are stores that lean into that to the point where it becomes annoying. There is a bit of that in many of the other Dresden books with Molly and other characters so if you've read those and didn't notice it before chances are it won't detract here.

James Marsters and the rest of the cast do a great job. James Marsters truly is the voice of Dresden and embodies him as a character very well.

I'd heard / read some of these stories before but this collection brought those together with others in a nice tidy package.

What I especially liked were all the stories that presented with a "side character's" point of view - Molly Carpenter, Waldo Butters, Anastasia Luccio, John Marcone, and even Maggie Dresden and Mouse! It was really interesting to see how they approached circumstances and tasks and how they see their world.

I can't recommend this enough to anyone who is a Dresden fan and who has read up to at least the 15th novel, Cold Days (though up to or beyond the 16th novel "Peace Talks" is marginally better).

Great read and enlightening side character POV's
