Helpful Score: 4
The full collection of Tanya Huff's "Blood" series short stories, including the screenplay for episode 9 of the TV series "Blood Ties" (based on her books), which she wrote. While nowhere near as good as the full novels, these shorts are interesting, amusing, and give more insight into the characters, which will be fully appreciated by any fan of the series. Some of the stories border on the hokey, but it's obvious the author had a lot of fun with them, and consequently the reader does too. And it's nice to have all of them in one volume.
