I've only read two so far, jim's and Patricia Briggs and enjoyed both. Briggs was an interesting jumble up with a werewolf as familiar to a blind witch? Looking forward to seeing more from that pair. Looking forward to the others. I also agree that this mix is going to be more along the line of things that I enjoy. Now why no Succabus Blues short stories tossed in there?
Richelle Mead might not have been asked to contribute, or if she was, she might have either turned it down or not met the deadline for the collection. She's juggling three book series, so she might have a lot on her plate right now.
