The one by Carrie Vaughn and one about the 'middle aged werewolf'. Both were okay, couldn't get in to any of the others, so tossing it back to the library. ( ) Rating based on two of the fifteen stories. "Kitty Learns the Ropes" by Carrie Vaughn ~ 2 stars A throwaway story from the Kitty universe. "The Aarne-Thompson Classification Revue" by Holly Black ~ 4 stars A slightly surreal story about a werewolf girl struggling with her nature and her growing acceptance of her new self as she auditions and performs in a strange but liberating theatrical show. Favourite quote: "Good is forgettable. Good is common. You are not good. You will show everyone what you are made of." The theme of this anthology is "Werewolves in the big city", which is a bit of a problem. Besides a somewhat liberal interpretation of the term "big city", I get the feeling that someone at Simon and Schuster thinks this is a more clever concept than it actually is. Yes, in general, werewolves are associated with nature and wildness, and so you commonly find them in suburban and rural environments, where they can wolf out in peace. But a quick glance through the titles in my archive will reveal that there's no reason you can't put a werewolf in the city. Depending on the rules the author applies, ignores, or subverts, it might not be difficult at all. Hell, there are entire series of urban fantasy books featuring urban lycanthropes. But we're getting off on the wrong foot here. Like any American college student will tell you, a party doesn't need a reason. It just needs an excuse. So let's see what this party has to offer.

DANGER LURKS IN THE HEART OF THE CITY . . . BUT NOT ALWAYS WHERE YOU EXPECT IT. From New York to Los Angeles to Bucharest, fifteen never-before-published tales by some of the world's finest fantasy and horror writers celebrate the newest incarnations of an age-old terror that strikes when the moon is full . . . the werewolf. No longer confined to the forests, these modern monsters can be found in places you frequent every day--and never before thought to fear. CARRIE VAUGHN's popular werewolf radio host Kitty Norville is drawn into a controversy as to whether it's fair to ban lycanthropy from professional sports. New York's famous Plaza Hotel is the setting for ESTHER M. FRIESNER's tale of one very grisly little girl, while Beverly Hills may never quite recover from RON GOULART's middle-aged Hollywood screenwriter who falls prey to a most unusual problem. Celebrated fantasy author PETER S. BEAGLE tells a chillingly lyrical story of three Louisiana loup garoux locked into a deadly dance of death. Plus many more biting tales from award-winning authors: HOLLY BLACK * P.D. CACEK * GREGORY FROST * TANITH LEE HOLLY PHILLIPS * MIKE RESNICK * DARRELL SCHWEITZER * LISA TUTTLE IAN WATSON * GENE WOLFE * CHELSEA QUINN YARBRO Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
