The top villains from seventeen urban fantasy series get their own stories-including the baddies of New York Times bestselling authors Jim Butcher, Kevin Hearne, Kelley Armstrong, Seanan McGuire, and Jonathan Maberry.

For every hero trying to save the world, there's a villain trying to tear it all down.

Urban Enemies Reviews

Balanced and entertaining . . . Fans of urban fantasy can read stories from some of their best-known names in the genre and discover new writers in this well-arranged anthology, which focuses on villains. In Jim Butcher's Even Hand, the human crime lord who has been a thorn in wizard Harry Dresden's side gets his due in an amusing story that pokes some fun at the long-running Dresden Files series. Other highlights include Hounded by Kelly Armstrong; Carrie Vaughn's Bellum Romanum, featuring an immortal Roman centurion who wants to see the world burn; and the deliciously wicked Balance by Seanan McGuire, set in her InCryptid world. * Publishers Weekly *
Helmed by editor Joseph Nassise, these tales plunge readers into the world of each series featured-from Jeff Somers' Utsari Cycle to Kevin Hearne's Iron Druid Chronicles to Carrie Vaughn's Kitty Norville series-these stories are sure to appeal to fans and series newcomers alike! * RT book reviews *
Butcher is the dean of contemporary urban fantasy. * Booklist on Jim Butcher *
Storytelling doesn't get much better than this, folks. The author has caught lightning (pun intended) in a bottle and he keeps doing it again and again. If you haven't caught on to the joy that is the Iron Druid Chronicles, you should remedy that post-haste. * My Bookish Ways on Kevin Hearne's Hunted of the Iron Druid Chronicles *
A wondrously gothic hybrid horror-thriller in the grand tradition of Dean Koontz and Stephen King. * Providence Journal on Kelley Armstrong's Cainsville series *
Heartbreaking . . . Somers conjures a riveting setting that bends and breaks time and again, each iteration raising the stakes for his accidental hero. By turns frightening and sorrowful, this is a story that offers no good choices to its characters. The ever-present violence is balanced by compassion, which in turn is eroded by the grim fight to save humankind. * Publishers Weekly on Jeff Somers' Ustari Cycle *
The only thing more fun than an October Daye book is an InCryptid book. Swift narrative, charm, great world-building . . all the McGuire trademarks. -- Charlaine Harris, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of Sookie Stackhouse series on Seanan McGuire's InCryptid series
Top grade horror fiction. * Booklist, Starred Review on Jonathan Maberry's Joe Ledger series *
