Histories

A Quincy Harker, Demon Hunter Short Story Collection (Quincy Harker Collection)

By: John G. Hartness

Narrated by: James Anderson Foster

An attack in the dark. The loss of a love. Waking up hung over in a ditch.

These are the things that make a hero, especially if that hero is Quincy Harker, immortal wizard, snarky bastard, and general badass.

Histories collects two short stories and one short novella giving a peek behind the curtain at the man, the myth, the legend that is Quincy Harker, as well as the origin story of one of his most popular cohorts, Jo Henry.

Hammer Time—Jo Henry takes up her father's mantle reluctantly, but in a moment of most dire necessity. A moment of necessity and claws. LOTS of claws.

Jazz City Blues—Harker wakes up like so many of us have—facedown in a New Orleans gutter with a hangover the size of Lake Ponchartrain. Then zombies happen.

Anna's Song—The story of Harker's first love, and the tragedy that took him from her. Anna's Song is a love story, a cautionary tale, and a story about killing lots of Nazis.

Histories

This book was very well written and produced. I am now hooked on this series 😁

The background stories worth the listen

After the lackluster, rather bland storyline of the latest in the series I was concerned that the short stories dealing with background histories of some of the characters would be a letdown but these were straight up vintage Quincy Harker.

I loved every short story that was presented here!

I loved every short story that was presented here! They were all super interesting! Can’t wait for more!

love the characters and world

this is one hell if a start to a series!!! read all these books then listen to all of them!

Wonderfully written, fun to get some background on our favorite Demon Hunter

I love this series. Hartness does a wonderful job of making these characters come to life. Quincy Harker is one of the most believable superheroes I’ve ever read…while still being an urban fantasy novel. This set of stories did something I’ve wanted for a long time: tell the story of his love affair with Anna. Harker is haunted by his first love, Anna. It drives the majority of his decisions. Getting to see what brought him there is was fascinating and satisfying. One of the other things I appreciate about Hartness’s writing in general is that his heroes demonstrate how to be an ally through their actions and opinions. I have to get back to work. The book is great, performance wonderful as always, if you like the Dresden files or Eric Carter, then you’ll like Quincy harker. But if you don’t know if you’ll like Quincy harker then you should start with book 1 instead.
