Description
“One of the most enjoyable marriages of the fantasy and mystery genres on the shelves,”(Cinescape) the Dresden Files have become synonymous with action-packed urban fantasy and nonstop fun. Fool Moon continues the adventures of Jim Butcher’s most famous—and infamous—reluctant hero… You’d think there’d be a little more action for the only professional wizard listed in the Chicago phone book. But lately, Harry Dresden hasn’t been able to dredge up any kind of work: magical, mundane, or menial. Just when it looks like he can’t afford his next meal, a murder comes along that requires his particular brand of supernatural expertise. There’s a brutally mutilated corpse, and monstrous animal markings at the scene. Not to mention that the killing took place on the night of a full moon. Harry knows exactly where this case is headed. Take three guesses—and the first two don’t count...

Steven Brust's opportunistic sorcerer/sometime-assassin Vlad Taltos may appeal to readers of both Jim Butcher's Dresden and Codex Alera series. For the former, Brust's Taltos is a sympathetic-but-flawed protagonist caught up in dangerous intrigues and corruption around him; for the latter, Brust vividly realizes a quasi-medieval fantasy setting. -- Kim Burton
Jim Butcher and Charles de Lint write bleakly evocative depictions of their dark urban fantasy worlds. Butcher's Chicago and de Lint's imaginary Newford each harbor portals to magical realms where danger lurks and from which it may emerge. Readers of each author will find much to appreciate in the other. -- Katherine Johnson
Jim Butcher and Lois McMaster Bujold write fantasy and science fiction filled with nuanced characters, political intrigues, and seemingly impossible moral dilemmas, though honor and integrity always prevail. Both write epic, long-form storytelling where seemingly trivial details in one book reveal themselves as part of a grand story arc several books later. -- Jessica Zellers
Like F. Paul Wilson, Jim Butcher sets his dark fantasy Harry Dresden series in an urban setting where supernatural evil lurks just under the radar of the average citizen. Readers of Wilson will love how Butcher convincingly intermingles the real and the fantastic, his well-developed characters, and his well-plotted storylines. -- Becky Spratford
Laurell K. Hamilton and Jim Butcher write about likeable characters in fast-moving plots with zippy dialogue, melding mystery and horror elements. Readers will find the romantic element often present in Hamilton's work to be rarer in Butcher's. -- Krista Biggs
The (mis)adventures of Glen Cook's beleaguered private eye, Garrett - who ekes out his living among orcs, vampires, and more - strike a charmingly depreciating, laconic, and hardboiled tone that may please fans of Jim Butcher's Dresden novels. Both writers' more traditional fantasy works feature multi-faceted protagonists and unusual worldviews. -- Kim Burton
Carrie Vaughn's werewolf late-night radio talk show host, Kitty Norville, is another series protagonist with appeal for Harry Dresden fans. Recounting her adventures in a wry, sometimes whiny, first-person voice, Kitty gradually comes to grips with life as a quasi-celebrity (and target). -- Kim Burton
