The Hex Is In: The Fast Life and Fantastic Times of Harry the Book Mike Resnick

From boxing matches to dragon races to elections, there's no wager Harry won't cover-so long as the odds are right.




Harry the Book operates out of a Manhattan bar booth, with his personal wizard and his zombie bodyguard close at hand. He'll dope out the odds on any sort of contest, even if that gets him into a heap of trouble.




Be it conniving gamblers, lovelorn wizards, or flea-bitten werewolves, when it comes to the misadventures of Harry and his crew one thing is certain: the hex is always in.




This book contains fifteen tales of Harry the Book-the complete set of Resnick's beloved Damon Runyon-inspired urban fantasy yarns, including one brand-new story and several never before published in the United States.
