Summary
Harry is the best and technically the 'only' at what he does, being the lone professional wizard PI in the Chicago phonebook. So when the Chicago PD has cases that transcend mortal capabilities, they come to him for answers.
For the 'everyday' world is actually full of strange and magical things - and most of them don't play well with humans. Yet despite his precautions, Harry tends to stumble from crisis to drama in his dealings with the supernatural world - call it an occupational hazard.
Here, he unfailingly manages to get on the wrong side of werewolf, fae, and vampires alike. And that's where his own rather special powers come into play....
These bite-sized stories are tremendously entertaining and will leave you itching to explore more of Harry Dresden's world. And as well as eight short stories, this collection includes an all-new Dresden Files novella.

Amazing Collection
Being hocked on the Dresden files is one thing but being filled in on all the small side plots brings the other books to life! The first and the last short story really help you to understand Harry and the void that is left when he isn't around to blow something up when required.

Great stories and saves you money!
James Marsters is perfect for The Dresden Files.
This is a collection of all the short stories that Butcher has contributed to other books. They are all on par with the main books and fit into the narrative at different points.
It also offers insight into some of the other characters, mainly Thomas and Murphy.
If you're a Dresden fan, this book is is a must, if your new to Dresden, start with the Files books first.

A MUST for Dresden fans
Quite often in the Dresden books there are references to little things that have happened in Harry's past, and if you're like me, you think "it'd be interesting to know about that", well, THIS is the book that lets you know about those things
The book opens with the first job that Harry did with his old mentor, and goes on from there, including stories with Thomas or Karrin (listening you'd think it's "Karen", but it's not), but knowing about the little back-stories that happen before or between jobs is just FANTASTIC
I wasn't sure what this would be like, but was pleasantly surprised, this book of short stories really made me smile!
If you take Jim Butcher's brilliant writing, James Masters' amazing reading, and stories that fill in gaps, you end up with Side Jobs - not only a good addition to the series, but something that all fans should read

Butcher as Butcher
Any additional comments?
I initially thought that this collection of short stories would leave me wanting the depth and development of a full novel, however Butchers writing style wins through with superb ability to condense a story down while still feeling rounded and developed. It was the last of his writings that I listened to and I feel that was helpful, but these stand strong as individual stories and a helpful narration initially gives you a lead inn as to where the novellas sit in the story timeline. A worthwhile purchase, highly recommended.

Side Jobs ... short stories for background.
This is a collection of tales as background to the Dresden world and where they fit within the reading order. They all add a little something and I especially enjoyed the last novella of the collection which is set after Changes and before Ghost Story. You do need to listen to this after Changes as there is a major spoiler in this tale. An excellent collection that I believe adds to the overall series. Top marks to James Marsters for his usual excellent narration.

Very enjoyable... for short stories!
Any additional comments?
Personally I've never been a big fan of short stories as I always want more background/storyline. However, as I'd just finished a marathon run with the final three books in the series and was having withdrawal symptoms, I was very grateful to happen upon this book and Working for Bigfoot, both of which I enjoyed and helped delay the final feeling of loss at not having any more stories to read!! I'd recommend it!
