Picked up at a Dauphine Street Books used book store, French Quarter New Orleans

Went on vacation, and while walking around the French Quarter spied a used book store -- how could I resist??

As with most short story collections, there are winners and there are meh.

Personals Wishes by Mickey Zucker Reichert - what a cute story, I saw what was happening before it was revealed, but liked it anyway. Everyone, even the Gods, must adapt to the times

Folk Lure by Kristine Kathryn Rusch - an entertaining little tale of what happens when you don’t realize what you are doing might be hurting another.

A Kiss at Midnight by R. Davis - Hunting for vampires in the modern age, wonder if they use Tinder now?

Starless and Bible Black by Gary A Braunbeck - an ok story about a fantasy lover

Fireflies by Bradley H. Sinor - one of the shorter tales in the book, cute little Underworld type story

Bernard Boyce Bennington and the American Dream by Peter Crowther - this one had the feel of the old gothic tales, where a group of (usually) men gather and one tells a tale of the supernatural. I really liked it.

Werotica by Esther M. Friesner - an enjoyable story, with the humor I expect from Friesner.

Someone to Share the Night by Tanya Huff - a cute little story, with a bit of a mystery.

Fixer-upper by Tim Waggoner - a beware of what you wish for kind of take, sort of.

Secret Identities by Nina Kiriki Hoffman - I would read more stories about Brenda and her crew. Really liked this witchy story

Deja Vu by Michelle West - an ok story, writing style had me confused for much of the time

Trading Hearts at the Half Kaffe Cafe by Charles de Lint - really cute werewolf kind of story. Enjoyed it a lot, and I wish the best for Lyle and Mona
