As with any anthology--some good stories, some ok stories and 1 not so good story.

The Butcher story was set in the world of Harry Dresden and was told from the p.o.v. of one of Harry's some time ally/foe John Marcone. It tells us nothing about Marcone's motivations, but does show his dedication to his personal code and to the lengths he will go to prepare for anything.

P.N. Elrod has a short story set in her Vampire Files universe with vamp Jack Fleming receiving assistance from the ghost who haunts his 30's era speak easy.

There is a Kate Daniels short. I would advise knowing something of Kate's world to properly appreciate this story. Altho I have to admit, I DID like seeing Kate and Saimen's first meeting.

There is a story from Carrie Vaughn set in her Kitty universe and featuring Cormac the werewolf slayer.

There are a few other stories as well, by authors that I have either no familiarity with or very little. Which brings us to the one story that I didn't really care for--Rachel Caine's "Even a Rabbit Will Bite. I don't believe I've read anything else by her, so I'll reserve judgement on her skills, I just didn't like the entire tone of the story.
