About this listen
New York Times bestselling author Simon R. Green returns to the "bizarre and gleefully dangerous backdrop" (Jim Butcher, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Dresden Files) of the Nightside with this landmark collection of short fiction.
Welcome to the Nightside. It's the secret heart of London, beating to its own rhythm, pumping lifeblood through the veins of its streets and alleys hidden in eternal darkness, where creatures of the night congregate, and where the sun is afraid to shine. It's the place to go if you're looking to indulge the darker side of your nature—and to hell with the consequences.
Tales from the Nightside presents ten macabre mysteries that shine a dim beam into the neighborhood's darkest corners to reveal things that should never come to light. Take a walk with such deadly and dangerous denizens of the Nightside as Razor Eddie, Dead Boy, and Larry Oblivion as they encounter things even more inhuman and inhumane than they are. And join John Taylor, the PI with a knack for finding lost things, as he confronts Sir Francis Varney, King of the Vampires.
There may be nothing to be afraid of in the dark, but there's plenty to be afraid of in the Nightside . . .

Story
Ishmael Jones is someone who can't afford to be noticed, someone who lives under the radar, who drives on the dark side of the road. He's employed to search out secrets, investigate mysteries and shine a light in dark places. Invited by his employer, the enigmatic Colonel, to join him and his family for Christmas, Ishmael arrives at the grand but isolated Belcourt Manor in the midst of a blizzard to find that the Colonel has mysteriously disappeared. As he questions his fellow guests, Ishmael concludes that at least one of them - not least Ishmael himself - is harboring a dangerous secret.

Story
Considered by the author to be his finest work yet, this is a novel of realistic detail, heartfelt emotion, and dazzling imagination that builds a world listeners won't want to leave and spins a tale they won't want to end. In a town of amazing magicks, where the real and the imagined live side by side and the Faerie of legend know the automatons of the future, Time sees all - but even he cannot escape the prophecy of James Hart's return, which can only mean the death of Shadows Fall.

Story
Rupert didn't especially want to be a prince. And he certainly never asked to be the second son of a royal line that really didn't need a spare. So he was sent out to slay a dragon and prove himself — a quest straight out of legend. But he also discovered the kinds of things legends tend to leave out, as well as the usual demons, goblins, the dreaded Night Witch — and even worse terrors hidden in the shadows of Darkwood.

Owen Deathstalker, last of the infamous warrior Clan, always considered himself more of a writer than a fighter, preferring his history books to making any actual history with a sword. But books won't protect him from Her Imperial Majesty Lionstone XIV, who just outlawed and condemned Owen to death, without any explanation, reason, or warning. No wonder she's called the Iron Bitch. Now, on the run from Imperial starcruisers, shady mercenaries, and just about everyone else in the Empire, Owen's options are limited.

Technically, it should be book 11.5, as there are a few characters here who die in book 12.
But, these can be enjoyed any time, even as a sampler for those looking for solid urban fantasy noir.
Half the run time of this anthology is taken up by two John Taylor novellas, with the other half taken up by short stories clocking in under an hour. I enjoyed the majority of stories, which is the best thing that can be said for an anthology.
Unfortunately, in terms of formatting, this anthology violates 2 of 3 cardinal sins, and perhaps even all 3:
⭕️ Sin 1 - using a different narrator than in the series. The original series narrator was Marc Vietor,
but this anthology and the series are ably narrated by Dan Calley, so I don’t consider this a problem.
❌ Sin 2 - no Table of Contents. The stories aren’t labeled. Which wouldn’t be quite as bad if there were ten chapters to match the ten books. But, there are 18 chapters for 10 stories, so you have to hop around the land mines if you are looking for the one you want to listen to again.
❌ Sin 3 - recycled offerings. There are at least three stories available in other Audible anthologies making this, potentially, a wasted purchase for some listeners.
Here’s the summary I wish Audible had provided:
1 / ch2 The Nightside, Needless To Say - Larry Oblivion’s origin story
2 / ch3 Razor Eddie’s Big Night Out - Razor Eddie’s origin story ⭐️
3 / ch4 Lucy at Christmastime - standalone - also in the 📙Wolfsbane and Mistletoe anthology ⭐️
4 / ch5 Appetite for Murder - standalone detective case ⭐️
5 / ch6-8 The Difference A Day Makes - a John Taylor investigation, also in the 📙Mean Streets anthology
6 / ch9 Some of These Cons Go Way Back - Harry Fabulous origin story ⭐️
7 / ch10 The Spirit of the Thing - a John Taylor investigation ⭐️
8 / ch11 The Hungry Heart - a John Taylor investigation
9 / ch 12 How Do You Feel? - Deadboy’s origin story, also in the 📙Hex Appeal anthology ⭐️
10 / ch13-18 The Big Game - a John Taylor investigation, plus Suzie Shooter, Deadboy, & Razor Eddie ⭐️
Three cardinal sins of anthologies
