CLAN RATHSKELLER by Kevin Hearne

This is a free short story that takes place ten months before the events of "Hounded", the first book in the Iron Druid Chronicles, coming 2011 from Del Rey.

This short story is a prequel to HOUNDED, so I was very interested in checking it out. And it didn't disappoint, because for being such a short story it packs quite a powerful punch.

Atticus and Oberon are wandering around Tempe Marketplace when they both notice something is wrong. And what first appears to be an odd situation with a bunch of Santa's elves, soon becomes something very dark and dangerous.

I think it's a great introduction to Atticus (which I'm already intrigued about), Oberon (an awesomely interesting Irish wolfhound), and several other races in this world. It's very well written and drew me right into the heart of the story. It's also action-packed, and now I can't wait to read the first book in this series. Loved it!
