See what Side Jobs has in store for fans of the Dresden Files!

Jim Butcher has always written short stories set in the world of the Dresden Files, about Chicago's only professional wizard and his friends and allies. But these have been scattered around, published in various anthologies and limited editions, and can be hard to hunt down. Now, the search is over: Side Jobs collects all of these stories in one volume.

And there's more—Side Jobs also includes "Aftermath," a brand-new, never before published Dresden Files novella. "Aftermath" takes place directly after the end of Changes, and it's from Murphy's point of view!
