Publisher's summary

My name is Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden. Conjure by it at your own risk. I'm a wizard. I work out of an office in midtown Chicago. As far as I know, I'm the only openly practicing professional wizard in the country. You can find me in the yellow pages, under Wizards. Believe it or not, I'm the only one there.

With rent past due and a decent meal becoming an issue of some importance, Harry needs work, and soon. A call from a distraught wife, and another from Lt. Murphy of the Chicago PD Special Investigation Unit makes Harry believe things are looking up, but they are about to get worse, much worse. Someone is harnessing immense supernatural forces to commit a series of grisly murders. Someone has violated the first law of magic: Thou Shalt Not Kill. Tracking that someone takes Harry into the dangerous underbelly of Chicago, from mobsters to vampires, while he himself is under suspicion of the crimes.

Featured Article: The top 100 fantasy listens of all time


When compiling our list of the best fantasy listening out there, we immediately came up against the age-old question: Is this fantasy or science fiction? The distinction is not as clear as you may think. Dragons, elves, and wizards are definitely fantasy, but what about wizards that also fly space ships? (Looking at you, Star Wars.) For the sake of fantasy purity, the top 100 fantasy listens include the best audio works in all manner of fantasy subgenres.

Wonderful

The book is wonderful and James Marsters does a great job capturing Harry Dresden, making it seem like Dresden himself is telling you a story.

Too much swallowing, smacking, and sighing

Great story. Can’t wait to read whole series. The narrator was horrible. Almost unbearable, but made it through

My first ever audio book and I loved it

I am a fantasy fan and this was my first audio book as well as my first interaction with the Dresden files. I liked the story a lot, it was dynamic and had unexpected turns. The narrator in my option did a really good job and was quite engaging.

Stupendous!

Laced with good humor, mixed with terrifying “special effects”, this is a tour de force. Don’t miss it!
