Got this from the library just for the Charlaine Harris story. While mildly entertaining, it was not a Sookie Stackhouse short story. For those of us in love with Sook, it' a bit dissapointing. That's not to say everything that Harris writes must be set in that world -- but if she's going to stray I need a bit better than what was included here. Fans can miss this easily....

I enjoyed a few of the stories, but was mostly disappointed. The title was the bet part of the book

Horror isn't really my prefered genre. This anthology makes me think maybe there's a reason for that.
As with any multi-author anthology, the quality of the stories varies. Jim Butcher's Day Off and Kelly Armstrong's The Ungrateful Dead are amusing additions to the popular Dresden Files and Women of the Otherworld series, but with few exceptions, the rest of the stories range from boring to just plain bad, with occasional 'disgusting' thrown in for variety. (I'm not sure why 'horror' equals 'being offensively crude when describing women', but apparently it does.) I say skip it unless you're a very committed Dresden Files or Jamie Vegas fan.

I bought this book solely for the Kelley Armstrong story. Regardless of which woman of the otherworld narrated it, I would have bought it. Lucky for me, it was my favorite woman of the otherworld, Jaime Vegas. I've enver been disappointed by anything of Kelley's. There is always humor, though most of the time dark. And there is action (note: usually less action in Jaime's stories than others). This book is worth the money spent for this story alone.
Sorry guys... haven't had time to read the rest.

It was nearly Halloween, I noticed Charlaine Harris and Jim Butcher who have written other things I have enjoyed so I picked up this anthology. I am very happy that I was at the library and not a book store so I am not out any cash but I would certainly like the evening I spent with this back again.
Most of the stories are boring or gross, some manage to be both. A few are clever and worth the time spent reading them, 'Elvis Presley and the Bloodsucker Blues','No Problem', 'An Evening with Al Gore'. Devoted fans of THE DRESDEN FILES will enjoy 'Day Off'. That makes four out of twenty-one stories that are worth the effort to read. There are about eight of the stories that I would like to have permanently excised from my memory.
If you really want to read this check it out from a library don't waste your money buying it, even from the discount table where it will certainly appear shortly.
