This review is from: Dracula's Lawyer (Paperback)
I had the pleasure of hearing Julia Mandala read "Redneck Wizard," the first story in this collection. It's sort of a backwoods Bubba in King Arthur's court, and it was another pleasure to read the story here. On first hearing, the story was entirely too good not to want to have a copy to keep.
"Worse" is an amusing little story about an elf prince who's supposed to marry a foreign princess and, after meeting her, would rather eat dirt -- not a normal part of the elvish diet. The piece de resistance is "Dracula's Lawyer," the title story, in which a lawyer is hired by the legendary Carpathian prince to bring suit against a town for not hiring him as an accountant. Since he can't expose himself to sunlight to apply or to work during daylight hours, he's using the Americans With Disabilities Act to fight for the job. Ms. Mandala has a knack of creating characters one immediately cares about and her style is clean and witty. While not heavyweights, these stories are a pleasure to read.
