Enter the woods . . . if you dare
For centuries, the woods have been a pivotal part of the wonder and danger of fairy tales, for once you enter anything can happen. Elves, druids, fairies—who knows what you will find once you dare step into the forest?
And now, New York Times bestselling author Kim Harrison ventures into these mysterious, hidden lands of magic and mystery in her first short-story collection. Into the Woods brings together an enchanting mix of brand-new, never-before-published stories and tales from Harrison's beloved, bestselling Hollows series.
The tales here include an original Hollows novella, Million-Dollar Baby, about Trent Kalamack's secret elven quest in Pale Demon; two original short stories, "Pet Shop Boys" and "Temson Woods," that explore just what happens when humanity and the supernatural collide; and two novelettes, "Spider Silk" and "Grace," set in new worlds of imagination and adventure. Into the Woods also contains all of the previously published Hollows short stories—together in one volume for the very first time.
Step into the woods and discover the magic for yourself.

The Scavenger species are circling. It is, truly, provably, the End Days for the Gzilt civilization.
An ancient people, organized on military principles and yet almost perversely peaceful, the Gzilt helped set up the Culture ten thousand years earlier and were very nearly one of its founding societies, deciding not to join only at the last moment. Now they've made the collective decision to follow the well-trodden path of millions of other civilizations; they are going to Sublime, elevating themselves to a new and almost infinitely more rich and complex existence.
Amid preparations though, the Regimental High Command is destroyed. Lieutenant Commander (reserve) Vyr Cossont appears to have been involved, and she is now wanted - dead, not alive. Aided only by an ancient, reconditioned android and a suspicious Culture avatar, Cossont must complete her last mission given to her by the High Command. She must find the oldest person in the Culture, a man over nine thousand years old, who might have some idea what really happened all that time ago.
It seems that the final days of the Gzilt civilization are likely to prove its most perilous.

A mash-up of standard urban fantasy tropes with the underpinnings of Buddhist philosophy sounds like fertile ground, but Meister doesn't deliver on that promise. Lilith Pierce decides to investigate the mysterious death of her sister, Eva. She endures strange visions while meeting an array of enigmatic characters, including a nightclub owner who is not what she seems and a peculiarly attractive bookbinder. Eventually Lilith discovers who's responsible for Eva's death: a group of supernatural beings who trace their origins to the Buddha's first disciple. The book displays a thorough knowledge of Buddhist philosophy and history, but awkward writing leads to a lackluster tale that's often confusing and muddled, lacking the clarity such an unusual topic demands. Agent: Laurie McLean, Larsen/Pomada Literary Agents. (Oct.)
