[Pieter · Rating 4 out of 5]

For a volume of short novels I quiet enjoyed reading this volume, especially the tribute to Lovecraft, the escaped slime and the new addition to the household. Others were in all honesty a bit silly, and in the weirdest one the author at least mentions it is a what-if story and definitely not canon. I also liked the intro and outro by the author in which the context of each story was explained including a bit on his writing process in general and how the individual stories fitted into the larger story (if at all). Your mileage might vary, but I really liked the volume.

Lo esperaba pero era agridulce la espera. Este tomo no continúa la historia, sino que retoma varias historias cortas que se dejaron fuera de las novelas por varias razones y en esta ocasión se publican.

Hay historias que se revisaron las fechas en que ocurren porque tenían conflicto con la historia principal, hay otras que se quitaron porque el tomo ya era muy largo y no podía incluirlo, hay otras que se incluyen pero comentan que no se deberán tomar como parte de la trama porque rompen con todo.

Y las últimas parece ser que son la razón del tomo. Dos historias cortas que quedaron fuera porque estaban mal las fechas, pero que los fans de la novela en la web leyeron y estaban esperando que aparecieran. Sinceramente si es lo mejor del tomo.
