Seventeen delightfully unexpected stories from Simon R. Greenâ??including a brand-new adventure of the Droodsâ??take us deep into the Darkside, embroil us in the Secret Histories, and lead us into the shadowy places where monsters and demons roamWelcome to the worlds of Simon R. Green. In this wide-ranging collection, the New York Timesâ??bestselling urban fantasist opens doors into hidden places: strange realms bordering our own mundane existence and prowled by creatures of fancy and nightmare. Here are the strange, frequently deadlyâ??and sometimes even deadâ??things that lurk in garbage-strewn city alleyways and grimy subway stations after midnight, visible only to the most perceptive human or inhuman eye.In these tales, Green revisits the ingenious worlds within worlds that he created for his wildly popular novels. Take a stroll on the Darkside with a jaded street wizard, an underpaid government functionary responsible for keeping demons, vamps, and aliens in line. Enter the hidden recesses of Drood Hall, where the aging family member who creates powerful weapons that protect humankind recalls his long and bloody career. Join a squad of no-longer-human soldiers dispatched to combat the all-consuming jungle on a distant planet. Visit a house at the intesection of two realities that serves as a sanctuary from the evil of all worlds. Confront the unstoppable zombie army of General Kurtz in a brilliant homage to Apocalypse Now. And whatever you do, never forget that there are monsters out there.

I do enjoy short stories and these are good ones. Not the Nightside. Green writes other fantastic stories well, too. ( )

I like to read short stories and this was great reading. Action with great dialogue. He seems to have the right words in the right place and makes the story have a human feel. Writes light fiction with some humor, great mystery/sci/fi. ( )

I have only read Simon Green in an anthology before I read Hidden Tales so I wasn't sure exactly what to expect with this collection of short stories. I had enjoyed the previous story I had read so I thought that this collection would be a great introduction to the author's work and it was. The stories were all very entertaining and they were for the most part very different. I think the collection did a great job at showcasing the author's range, and I especially liked the author's comments at the end of each story giving the reader a little bit of background on the story. Overall I think this collection would be a treat to readers who have enjoyed the author in the past as well as a great introduction to new readers like myself. If you are looking for some entertaining short stories, then this is the book for you.

Received a copy of Tales of the Hidden World through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. ( )

These were seventeen of the best short stories I have read in a long time. There was a fine assortment of zombies,werewolves,demons,wizards and Droods. I would recommend these stories to all fantasy and science fiction readers.
