Brief Cases
ByPublisher Description
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.

• “Curses,” from Naked City, edited by Ellen Datlow

“Another collection of short stories. I really enjoyed these, some more than others. Seeing Butters take his first official case as a knight and flying his nerd flag had me smiling. But by far, my favorite was Zoo Day. Having the same day shown from all three viewpoints, Harry, Maggie and Mouse, was just too cute. I hope we get more of that some day.”
