For general fantasy I've enjoyed Gentleman Bastard, The Kingkiller Chronicle, and The Broken Empire. I listen to Kingkiller Chronicle fairly often due to the amount of commuting I do where I live.

For more urban/fantasy maybe try Lives of Tao, Iron Druid Chronicles, or anything by Neil Gaiman. The anniversary edition of American Gods was really excellent on audio-book. Not sure if the others have audio editions or not.

I've also really enjoyed stuff by Drew Hayes (a webnovelist). His banner series is SuperPowereds. But I though NPCs was a great take on an old fantasy trope. Neither come in audio formats unfortunately.

Good luck.

If you're looking for something really dark I'd suggest Harry Connolly's Twenty Palaces series. The first one is Child of Fire. I really enjoyed it and Jim Butcher has also recommend it. Keep in mind there are only 3 books and 1 prequel that Harry self published due to his publisher dropping him.

If you're looking for something stupid and funny I recommend John Dies at the End and it's sequel This Books is Full of Spiders: Seriously, Dude, Don't Touch It. I have to admit I'm a bit biased on those though, I won a free signed copy of TBiFoS by participating in an alternate reality game around the time of its release.

> But at least have enough class not to advertise that you did it.

Hey, Jim. Long time fan of the Dresden books; I usually use them as a case example of showing people what it's like for an author to improve over time, because I think it's very clear to the reader how consistently you get better as a writer from book to book (although you rely on the word 'literally' far too often for my taste). I understand your point of view on people sharing your books for free, but I cannot support your attitude that there is anything remotely shameful about it, any more than there is shame in lending or giving a book to a friend - it is simply a fact that a digital book can be given away without the giver no longer having it, which shouldn't have any impact on the morality in question.

Some of your pirates truly can't afford your books, and you should not consider them a loss of sales in any way. Many, like thefran has strongly implied he is, struggle with inadequate service - information in the digital age is always in competition with free, and sellers who do not realize this make poor decisions that cause piracy. theFran has straight-up admitted that he had to buy a bootleg because, for no good reason, he could not buy your product when it released, as it was delayed in his country. In the internet age, that is straight-up inexcusable. This is your publisher's fault, not yours, but you should understand that he was out to enjoy your work, not hurt you, and as a group, the people involved in selling him the book dropped the ball collectively.

If you're serious about wanting to sell more books to internet denizens, 1) make absolutely sure digital copies of your book release no later than the physical book does, 2) in every format used by a digital reader, 3) on widely accessible markets, 4) for a reasonable price (this means less than the physical copy; 5 dollars is about right). This shit, where the digital copy costs MORE than the paper copy, is just going to lose you sales. http://www.amazon.com/Storm-Front-Book-Dresden-Files/dp/0451457811

I realise you're the author, but you're big enough to tell your publishers to stop being idiots. Get on the phone with them and start making yourself more money and your internet readers happier.

I hope you enjoy! As a bonus, Jim Butcher wrote a Monster Hunter short story for an anthology.

Jim Butcher's The Dresden Files: Dog Men #1 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06Y5NL3PT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_u8yqzb02X13HJ

Dude, you might want to check your Amazon link there. I got sent to this.

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1606905740/iagonet,%20%5BBarnes%20and%20Noble%5D(http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/jim-butchers-dresden-files-jim-butcher/1120264375?ean=9781606905746&itm=1&usri=1606905740&cm_mmc=AFFILIATES-_-Linkshare-_-PTGUYWzr6O8-_-10:1&r=1

But it took me to a book about coins from the 1900s or something.

The one I recently purchased off of Amazon is good gollydarn massive. Think hardback size with a soft back feel (reminds me of an old girlfriend).

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0451463846/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

That said I own all of the Dresden Files in paperback and they range in size from normal to Side Jobs. I've given up on uniformity and just roll with it, after all I'm after the story and the books will get beaten up after several go throughs anyway.

The Kindle book is still available on the US amazon site.

Can you buy it from the US Amazon site? https://www.amazon.com/Working-Bigfoot-Jim-Butcher/dp/1596067306

What was the butters one in?

You can get it in Kindle format on Amazon.

Side Jobs has all the short stories but 3 in it.

Working for Bigfoot https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ZXPSA7C/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_VVExwbQAAPJ8S

There are some Dresden comic books. The first one, Welcome to the Jungle you could read right now. Don't read Side Jobs until after you read Changes.

I don't think [Speculation](/g "the supernatural beings that we've forgotten about are there.") You have apparently missed the Oblivion War. I strongly suggest that you read Side Jobs. You won't regret it.

The Lies of Locke Lamora

Solid book

The Twenty Palaces series got me through those extra months between Changes and Ghost Story; and seeing as how I found out about the series from Jim's website that ought to say something.

http://www.amazon.com/Child-Fire-Twenty-Palaces-Novel/dp/0345508890/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1318576688&sr=8-4

Before you do a reread, have you read the other short stories in the Dresden universe? If you haven't, they are a quick read and will give you a little more backstory on things.

I picked up the bigfoot one at my library. I have no clue why it's so costly online.
