some of the people I've recommended it to couldn't get past Shadow & Claw. <br>
<br>
I don't think I'd recommend a collection of short stories to the person.
I can't seem to sit and read through a collection, and find myself picking
stories to read based on their titles, summaries, or what I've heard. If
instead you had your own list of selected short stories, I think that could
work well. That way your friend could try out a few without too much
investment. Some of my favorites: <br>
<br>
The Hero as Werwolf (<st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Castle</st1:PlaceType>
of <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Days</st1:PlaceName></st1:place>?)<br>
The Death of <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Doctor</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType
w:st="on">Island</st1:PlaceType> (The <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceType
w:st="on">Island</st1:PlaceType> of <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Doctor</st1:PlaceName></st1:place>
Death, etc.)<br>
Tracking Song (The <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Island</st1:PlaceType>
of <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Doctor</st1:PlaceName></st1:place> Death, etc.)<br>
The Ziggurat (Strange Travelers)<br>
Queen of the Night (Strange Travelers) <br>
