#Monster hunter international book 5 series
THE MONSTER HUNTER FILES is a fun, gritty, compilation of monster-hunting urban fantasy stories that give you a great peek at what the Monster Hunter International series could look like in the hands of other urban fantasy authors.Correia grew up in El Nido, California working on his Portuguese father's dairy farm until his mid-teens, when his family moved to Utah.
While I am not to familiar with the series, I found myself enjoying the mythology and getting caught up in the central mystery. Larry Correia's THISTLE is in the Monster Hunter International was a fun peek into the world from the author who created it. I loved seeing a story featuring a kitsune using her powers for good and would love to read more about this character. Kim May's KEEP KAIJU WEIRD was a little on the weird side which was great and refreshing after so many grim stories. It was fun to see Jane Yellowrock pop up in a different book universe and be her awesome monster hunting self. One of my favorites was Faith Hunter's SHE BITCH, KILLER OF KITS. There's monster-hunting going on, so there's lots of bloody action scenes, suspense, and of course scary dangerous monsters. Regardless of the author, I'd categorize the stories in this anthology as gritty urban fantasies. I liked that even if you've never read the series you can still enjoy some of the stories in this anthology and get a sense of the world that connects them. While some of the stories relate directly to characters from the Monster Hunter International series some authors insert their own characters into the universe. The MONSTER HUNTER FILES anthology is a brilliant view into the Monster Hunter International series through the lens of some of my favorite authors and some new authors I should explore in the future.
