Why read it?
1 author picked The Hex Is In as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Mike Resnick is a master of writing humor, and Hex collects all of his Harry the Book stories, a Damon-Runyon style tales of a down-on-his-luck bookie and his oddball crew, operating out of a booth in a Manhattan bar. I love this noir-ish version of NYC with zombies, werewolves, and even dragons mixing with human New Yorkers who are even more colorful.
If you love this book, Resnick's Hunting the Unicorn (and sequels) take place in the same setting.
From Alex's list on funny and snarky fantasy set in New York City.
