Pieces by Richard Lee Byers 3/5
Soul Steel by Lisa Smedman 4/5
The Resurrection Agent 3/5
Interesting concept, mediocre execution, dull ending.
Wandering Stones 4/5
Though not terrible action-oriented, an interesting intro story. It made me curious about what else Bruce Cordell has done. I'm not terribly impressed by what I found. Mostly, game manuals and one off books in the series...
The Bone Bird 3/5
Feast Of The Moon 3/5
The King In Copper 3/5
Dusty Bones 4/5
The Many Murders of Manshoon 4/5
A Body In A Bag 4/5
A nice little story, but a little too current/real in tone and style. Still fairly well written. Ande's a complete ditz, though.

A wonderful collection of some of the best known Realms authors, all involving ghouls, vampires, and zombies. We are introduced to some new friends and old favorites, and we are given some heartening news along the way.
So those who follow the Realms know that the goddess of magic Mystra was killed off in the Realms around the time when D&D 4.0 came about, and her death caused the begining of a new age in the Realms, as both the lands and magic of the Realms was torn asunder by the force of her death. Thanks to this book, there is hope.
Now I don't know if this is wishful thinking on Ed Greenwood's part, but in his little snippet in the book he references how a piece of Mystra was saved by another god, and how it has been housed in the body of a Zentyrian wizard who is being held in a type of stasis. One can only imagine what would happen if the Old Mage ever catches wind of this...
Oh and there's hope for followers of Drizz't as well! Salvatore reveals in his story that Regis and Cattie-Brie are essentially alive and accessible on the Prime Material Plane.
So in one volume we have your typical walking dead stories, coupled with several heartening pieces of news for those of us who's hearts live more in the Realms than the real world.
