TALES OF THE OTHERWORLD is Armstrong's second collection of
stories that have been (mostly) previously published on her
website as a yearly "thank you" to her readers. The
previously published stories have all been re-edited for
this book and there is one completely new story featuring
Eve Levine and Kristof Nast, the parents of Savannah
Levine. All proceeds from this book will be donated to
World Literacy of Canada. Armstrong is one of my favorite
authors, and although I spend a lot of time online, I had
never read any of these before and all of them were a real
treat. As in the first collection of her stories, MEN OF
THE OTHERWORLD, this volume spotlights backstories of some
secondary characters who you know but don't know much about
yet.
The final "chapter" is a novella starring Paige and Lucas
who are investigating a rogue vampire kill and at the same
time fending off advances from Lucas's father, who is
trying to bring them into the family business. For fans of
the TV show Angel, his attempts are very Wolfram and Hart-
style. A book of good stories banded together to support a
good cause.
More of New York Times best-selling author Kelley
Armstrong's most popular Otherworld characters get a chance
to shine in this second short fiction collection, showcasing
critical moments from many different lives.
Kelley Armstrong's readers have proven themselves a
dedicated fan-base: her previous hardcover collection of
short stories, Men of the Otherworld, appeared on the New
York Times bestseller list, and Canadian lists too — despite
three of the stories having been available, unedited and for
free, for years on Armstrong's website.
With a similar format — a handful of reedited stories and
one wholly original novella — Tales of the Otherworld
explores the lives of some of Armstrong's most popular
characters, giving readers glimpses into how Clay and Elena
met, how Eve and Kristof first hooked up (a brand new
novella), and how Lucas and Paige got married. Kelley is a
superstar of the genre, and Tales of the Otherworld is a
great way to begin 2010.
