I am a big fan of "Dies the Fire" and these stories are good. A great way to hide from reality for a little while.

As such collections are, this was a rather mixed bag. No bad stories, though a few seemed overly predictable. Some of the entries seemed to play a bit loose with the post-change die off, contradicting the vision of nearly universal desolation from the books. Of course, we're getting perspectives from outside Montival or the Upper Midwest for pretty much the first time, it shouldn't be surprising that two of the luckiest areas in North America (post-change) might have a slightly jaundiced view of the rest of the world (as they know it). Anyhow, it's not all quite wall to wall Eaters and ruins.
Wouldn't recommend this to anyone who hasn't read at least the first three books and preferably a few more than that (for the introduction of the heavier supernatural elements) but I think any fan of the series should give it a look.
