About Larry Correia and the Monster Hunter International series:

“[E]verything I like in fantasy: intense action scenes, evil in horrifying array, good struggling against the darkness, and most of all people—gorgeously flawed human beings faced with horrible moral choices that force them to question and change and grow.”—Jim Butcher

“[A] no-holds-barred all-out page turner that is part science fiction, part horror, and an absolute blast to read.”—Bookreporter.com

“If you love monsters and action, you’ll love this book. If you love guns, you’ll love this book. If you love fantasy, and especially horror fantasy, you’ll love this book.”—Knotclan.com

“A gun person who likes science fiction—or, heck, anyone who likes science fiction—will enjoy [these books] . . . The plotting is excellent, and Correia makes you care about the characters . . . I read both books without putting them down except for work . . . so whaddaya waitin’ for? Go and buy some . . . for yourself and for stocking stuffers.”—Massad Ayoob

“This lighthearted, testosterone-soaked sequel to 2009's Monster Hunter International will delight fans of action horror with elaborate weaponry, hand-to-hand combat, disgusting monsters, and an endless stream of blood and body parts.”—Publishers Weekly on Monster Hunter Vendetta

About Mission: Tomorrow, edited by Bryan Thomas Schmidt:
“This themed anthology . . . will appeal to a wide range of readers, who will appreciate the diversity of stories . . . a solid introduction to a classic genre.”—Kirkus

“Editor Schmidt adds grandmasters to a mix of newer established names and balances the tragic with the humorous.”—Publishers Weekly

About Shattered Shields, edited by Jennifer Brozek and Bryan Thomas Schmidt:
“In this well-built anthology, seventeen original stories cut to the heart of military fantasy, diving directly into the most exciting moments of dramatic bravery, grand battles, and life-changing heroism. . . . Readers who prefer to cut straight to the action, but want more depth than pure hack-and-slash, will find these offerings appealing.”—Publishers Weekly

“An inventive and thought-provoking set of tales that capture the bravery and terrors of battle. Carries the banner of military fantasy proudly.”—John Marco, author of The Bronze Knight Series

About The Raygun Chronicles, edited by Bryan Thomas Schmidt:
“Fans of sf should enjoy this stylistically varied homage to a genre as old as the fiction . . . ”—Library Journal

Well Done Collection of MH Stories

Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2017

Verified Purchase

Wow - this collection knocks it out of the ball park! A dirty secret of publishers is many short story collections often only have one great story, and unfortunately you need to buy the entire book to get that one story. And yes, that has happened a lot to me with a certain author in this collection... This reminds me of how Record Albums used to be sold, where you had to buy the entire Album for the one Song you really wanted. In this collection, thankfully, all the stories are a good read!

The stories are set in the MH (Monster Hunter) Universe that builds on the other books in the series, and many of the stories focus on a particular character, such as Julie, Trip, Agent Franks, Chad, etc. The stories range from a Kitsune in Portland, to the janitor at MH HQ, to Agent Franks during WW2. Sarah Hoyt did a great job with Julie, and I look forward to her collaboration with Larry in MH Guardian.

Positives:
- A+ Authors like Jim Butcher, John Ringo , and more! You should just buy the book for the Jim Butcher story!
- Great stories that are just a fun read.
- The stories add to the Monster Hunter Series.
- Baen Quality - Baen, the book publisher are among the best editors in the Sci Fi area.
- Reads like a B Movie, where the Heroes shoot back!
- Wide range of stories
- You find out about the brother of Owen's Boss (Owen's Boss was thrown out a window in book 1 - he's was Werewolf) mentioned in the greatest opening book sentence that starts book 1 Monster Hunter International (Monster Hunters International Book 1) ever in his first published book that has 1296 reviews with 4 1/2 stars out of 5.

Negatives
- You may hurt yourself by laughing so hard.

FAQ:

Do you need to read the rest of the series before this?
No, but that would add to the enjoyment.

Should you read this at work?
No, there is a huge danger of ROFL and that may impact your career.

Is this a serious literary work?
No

How would you rate it?
R for violence. Lots of Monsters and bad guys are killed. Think a B Movie.

Is it silly?
No, just clean fun.

Is it Gory?
No. People and Monsters die, but it's not done in a gory way.

I just expanded my list of authors who’s work I need to research because I enjoyed so many of these stories

Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2017

Verified Purchase

I bought this book for several reasons:
1) I happened to watch a panel discussion off YouTube that was recorded at a recent convention. I have read most of the Monster Hunter series and have a fondness for those characters.
2) But I am an avid follower of Faith Hunter’s Jane Yellowrock series, so I had to have it for Jane alone.
3) I am also a fan of Jim Butcher’s writing style, so I was also looking forward to his story as sort of a bonus prize.
However, I just expanded my list of authors who’s work I need to research because I enjoyed so many of these stories.

The Monster Hunter International Files is a grand anthology. Every story is interesting and entertaining. One of my most beloved elements of the MHI series are the dashes of humor even when the monsters are enormous and doom seems inevitable. Many of these stories continue that tradition brilliantly. But if you prefer the dark side of fantasy horror, you have content to enjoy as well.

The authors have done a good job of providing enough back ground that I think that someone unfamiliar with the series would still enjoy it.

In terms of my personal enjoyment, the outstanding stories in the collection were:
• Small Problems by Jim Butcher
• She Bitch, Killer of Kits by Faith Hunter
• Hunter Born by Sarah Hoyt
• Keep Kaiju Weird by Kim May
• Sons of the Father by Quincy Allen
• The Case of the Ghastly Specter by John Ringo
• Huffman Strikes Back -by Bryan Thomas Schmidt & Julie Frost
• Thistle by Larry Correia
• A Knight of the Enchanted Forest by Jessica Day George

I had planned to read this book on my Kindle, but somehow, I got the Audible version going and finished out listening rather than reading. Most of the performers were new to me. While all the narrators did an excellent job, I believe the women did especially well at playing their characters.

Good Mix of Stories

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 27, 2019

Verified Purchase

OK, as usual with a multi-author anthology there's 1 or 2 stories that are pretty much a waste of a perfectly good tree, but others have kept me up past my self-imposed "lights out time" to find out how they end. It's also managed to squeeze in potted bibliographies of all the contributors that are actually useful, and that is less common than you'd think.

I'd never read any of the Monster Hunter International series before this (I bought it exactly because I was looking to read new stories by lots of people without buying entire novels), and even with stories that are untold incidents from the life of an established major character, I was given enough about the character that they're not just cyphers.

David Coutts

Excellent collection of short stories.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 26, 2021

Verified Purchase

The stories and authors cover a wide variety of characters. Some of them familiar to readers of previous MHI novels, some not. The style changes according to who is writing, but it's never jarring.

A good, fast paced read.

Larry Correia is an excellent author

Once I read one of these books (monster hunter series and also grimnoir chronicles series), I could not put them down, thoroughly enjoyed them all (moral dilemma about gun ownership, but the books don't work without it)
just waiting for more in these series to be published for me to buy and read

A great mixture of stories.

I bought this book as I am a great fan of Jim Butcher and Faith Hunter. They did not disappoint and neither did any of the authors. A brilliant read and would recommend it as a holiday read.
