Anyone read any of these? I saw Aftertaste at Walmart last night, and realized I hadn't known two of these were out yet.

It nourishes everything, yet itself feeds upon destruction. We claim to control it, but does it not perhaps cultivate us as a source of food? May it not be that all wood grows so that it can be set ablaze, and that men and women are born to kindle fires?"

I started to read "I Was a Teenage Bigfoot" but then I learned that they were all published out of order. I think I'll wait until the last one comes out because that supposedly takes place first.

The spin-off series was the joke.

So what you're saying is that they are a joke, but they are also real things?

They are joke as full length novels. Real as short stories. Mr. Butcher write 2 novels a year normally. He is working on new series now besides Dresden...

Finally read all three of these back-to-back-to-back yesterday. Good fun. Now I just have "Curses" and Bombshells to read.
