In New York Times bestselling author Charlaine Harris's "Dracula Night," Sookie Stackhouse is the only human at the annual commemoration of Dracula's birth. But this year, the Prince of Darkness actually shows up-and finds Sookie to be a tasty-looking present.

New York Times bestselling author Jim Butcher's crime-solving wizard Harry Dresden, of the Dresden Files novels, heads to a role-playing party to give his vampire brother a birthday present in "It's My Birthday Too," only to discover there are some bloodthirsty party crashers who don't share their brotherly love.

In "Twilight," Cassandra DuCharme, who appeared in New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong's Dime Store Magic, knows she has to kill to live as a vampire another year-but finds herself disturbingly disinterested in the hunt.

Plus ten more bloody good birthday stories that take the cake.

Henry Fitzroy had long since learned to survive without killing, learned the skills needed to blend in with the human race. But unless he, Vicki, and Mike could find the key to conquering the magic-raised menace stalking the streets of Toronto, Fitzroy's true identity might soon be exposed and his life might prove forfeit to the uncontrollable fears of humankind. And without Henry Fitzroy, mere mortals like Vicki and Mike would not long survive against the ancient force of chaos that had been loosed on their world.]]> 1967 3.73 15048 1087 1991 338122 1841493570 9781841493572 32 <![CDATA[Blood Trail (Victoria Nelson, #2)]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/338122.Blood_Trail 3.79 738 1967 3.73 15048 1087 1992 338118 1841493589 9781841493589 20 <![CDATA[Blood Lines (Victoria Nelson, #3)]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/338118.Blood_Lines 3.76 650
For Henry Fitzroy, 450-year-old vampire, it began with a haunting, inescapable image of the sun, a terrifying symbol of death to one such as he. Fearing for his sanity, he called upon his sometime-lover and comrade in supernatural investigations, ex-cop Vicki Nelson, for help. And even as the two struggled to cope with Henry's obsession, Vicki's closest friend and former partner, Police Detective Mike Celluci was following up on two mysterious deaths at the museum, certain he was looking at murders, not accidents -- and equally convinced that the killer was a mummy brought back from the dead! ]]> 1967 3.73 15048 1087 1992 141454 1841493597 9781841493596 20 <![CDATA[Blood Pact (Victoria Nelson, #4)]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/141454.Blood_Pact 3.81 580 1967 3.73 15048 1087 1993 338119 1841493600 9781841493602 16 <![CDATA[Blood Debt (Victoria Nelson, #5)]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/338119.Blood_Debt 3.80 558
It began when Henry woke to the twilight -- and the discovery that a ghost had invaded his inner sanctum. This was the start of a dangerous nightly game. Henry was allowed to ask one question of his mysterious visitor. If the answer was no, someone -- innocent and unsuspecting -- would die. It soon became clear that what this wraith -- and the others who eventually joined it -- wanted was revenge on those responsible for killing them.

Henry could not find the source of these murders on his own, nor could he ignore his unwanted guests. He had only one choice -- to call private investigator Vicki Nelson and ask for help. Henry only hoped that he and Vicki would both survive the experience... ]]> 1967 3.73 15048 1087 1997 60738 0886777844 9780886777845 43 <![CDATA[Summon the Keeper (Keeper's Chronicles, #1)]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60738.Summon_the_Keeper 3.95 582 Compares to best-selling fantasy authors Mercedes lackey and Charles deLint Tanya Huff's DAW books were chosen by the New York Public Library system as part of their Books for Teens program!]]> 1967 3.73 15048 1087 1998 176794 0756401666 9780756401665 5 <![CDATA[Sun in Glory and Other Tales of Valdemar]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172444479m/176794.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172444479s/176794.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/176794.Sun_in_Glory_and_Other_Tales_of_Valdemar 3.66 588

Valor's Choice

Staff Sergeant Torin Kerr was a battle-hardened professional. So when she and her platoon were yanked from a well-deserved leave for what was supposed to be "easy" duty as the honor guard for a diplomatic mission to the non-Confederation world of the Silsviss, she was ready for anything. Sure, there'd been rumors of the Others--the sworn enemies of the Confederation--being spotted in this sector of space. But there were always rumors. The key thing was to recruit the Silsviss into the Confederation before the Others attacked or claimed these lizardlike warriors for their side. And everything seemed to be going perfectly. Maybe too perfectly...

The Better Part of Valor

Never tall a two-star general what you really think of him... That was the mistake Staff Sergeant Torin Kerr had made with General Morris. And Torin's reward--or punishment--was to be separated from her platoon and sent off on what might prove an etremely perilous assignment. She was comandeered to protect a scientific expedition to a newly discovered and seemingly derelict spaceship of truly epic proportions. Only time would tell whether the ship was what it appeared to be, or a trap created by the Others--or the work of an unknown alien race with an agends that could prove all to hostile to other life-forms...]]> 1967 3.73 15048 1087 2737027 3.93 514 52 2006 338139 0886773865 9780886773861 6 <![CDATA[Gate of Darkness, Circle of Light]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173866682m/338139.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173866682s/338139.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/338139.Gate_of_Darkness_Circle_of_Light 3.59 114 1967 3.73 15048 1087 163579 3.82 212 20 1989 2348596 0756405076 9780756405076 12 <![CDATA[Blood Bank (Victoria Nelson, #6)]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2348596.Blood_Bank 3.83 101 The Blood Books: Volume Three, all of Tanya Huff's short stories featuring homicide cop turned P.I.

The incredible popularity of the movies has led to the formation of strong emotions within the science fiction community on the strengths and flaws of the films, exemplified here by David Brin's attacks and Matthew Woodring Stover's defense of the movies. This intense examination of the epic works addresses a broad range of issues—from politics, religion, and the saga's overall logic to the impact of the series on bookshelf space as well as science-fiction film. The question Is George Lucas a hero for bringing science fiction to a mass audience or a villain who doesn't understand the genre he's working for? is discussed before a final "Judge's Verdict" on the greatness—or weakness—of the franchise is reached.

Gayness, or someone's discovery of his or her gayness, is indeed a common motif to all the stories, but in some it is central; in others, it's just a quality a character has--they happen to be having or have had a relationship with someone of the same sex. It's generous in size, 22 stories, and generous in its embrace, ranging in tone from sitcom-like light entertainment ("In Mysterious Ways," by Tanya Huff, and "Magicked Tricks" by K. L Berac), to realism ("Gestures Too Late on a Gravel Road" by Mark W. Tiedemann, and "Full Moon and Empty Arms" by M. W. Keiper), to realistic horror ("The House of the Man in the Moon" by Richard Bowes). Mythic fantasy, fairy tales, and ghost stories are all here too, so this is more like reading a survey than a tightly thematic anthology. The variety is appropriate. Neither fantasy nor sex comes in just one flavor. If you're at all interested in anything besides vanilla, sample this.

Meets storyteller?
Something new is born.
Mythspring

Song and story. Myth and tradition. They are a shared legacy that both satisfies and inspires. Join these talented authors as they celebrate the rich, diverse, and occasionally truly odd culture of our country.

Mythspring is an anthology of original short speculative fiction, including fantasy, science fiction, and horror, where each story is derived from a Canadian song, folktale, myth, or other cultural source. Excerpts of the source text or image appears in the book with each story, along with a brief description of how the author was inspired by it.

Includes stories from notable speculative fiction authors such as Charles de Lint, James Alan Gardener, Alison Baird, Tanya Huff and Karin Lowachee.

The stories will be suitable for an older young adult audience, and the book will be of great interest to educators. It will be included as a "special event" volume within the Realms of Wonder series of original fantasy anthologies.

Be inspired. Celebrate our wealth of ideas and talent. Taste the delights of Mythspring.

This collection was nominated in 2007 for the Prix Aurora Award in the Best Other Work in English category, and two of the stories it contains ("All the Cool Monsters at Once" by James Alan Gardner and "This Ink Feels Like Sorrow" by Karin Lowachee) were individually finalists in the Best Short-Form Work in English category.]]> 4005 3.91 1527 197 1967 3.73 15048 1087 219417 3.74 80 14 1965926 3.40 25 7 2844041 4.09 11 2 69803 3.60 1689 102 644584 4.52 33 8 2844042 4.09 11 2 163683 4.00 12 3 107732 4.03 220 36 2844043 3.55 22 4 8456 3.95 21687 1561 378561 4.09 11 2 2844044 4.09 11 2 129426 3.90 705 66 2844045 4.09 11 2 2006 642834 0756401828 9780756401825 3 <![CDATA[Faerie Tales]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176667440m/642834.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176667440s/642834.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/642834.Faerie_Tales 3.18 11

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of DAW Books, editors Betsy Wollheim and Sheila Gilbert asked each and every author published by DAW thoughout its history if they would like to contribute a new story for a special commemorative anthology.

The response was overwhelming. So overwhelming, in fact, that the contributions will be published in not one but two volumes—one for the fantasy stories and one for the science fiction—featuring the most acclaimed, award-winning, best-selling names in any genre.
