Large chests are said to encompass all manner of hopes and dreams. Men covet them. Women envy them. But one fact holds true - everyone wants to get their hands on some big ones. The same holds true for one intrepid adventurer - a strapping young lad by the name of Himmel.

Meet Threadbare. He is 12 inches tall, full of fluff, and really, really bad at being a hero. Magically animated and discarded by his maker as a failed experiment, he is saved by a little girl. But she's got problems of her own, and he might not be able to help her. Fortunately for the little golem, he's quick to find allies, learn skills, gain levels, and survive horrible predicaments. Which is good, because his creator has a whole lot of enemies …

Richard Royal has a hard life. He lives in a corrupt, church-controlled dystopia, his family is soon broken, and the only joy to be had comes from the escapism of his full-immersion gaming. Introduced to a new and very illegal game, he finds himself in the body of a dragon, on a quest to find a dark and evil power to serve. But the game is more than it seems, and the dragon is more than a beast. Soon Rich's life is far, far more complicated than he ever expected. And the threats against him grow, both in-game and in realspace.

Timothy Walter Bolton - better known as Timmy - has spent most of his life as a necromancer. When he isn't terrorising his enemies, he's plotting inside his castle, which is built on top of lightless chasms filled with nameless horrors and beings of a generally malevolent and megalomaniacal nature. But after one of his latest creations, a zombie hydra-dragon-bear, tries to eat him, he decides that maybe it's time to find a new, less dangerous, career.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 281
When Alice Verianna went to sleep, she was just another teen from the Denver suburbs. She definitely didn't expect to be transported to a magical alternate dimension, inhabited by monsters and presided over by a mysterious System. Here, people resemble RPG characters and everyone has access to their own status screens. Grappling with the mechanics of the elusive System isn't the only challenge Alice faces. It seems an underground organization known as the Society of Starry Eyes has taken a particular interest in other dimensions.

A thousand years have passed since a dragon has been seen in the world. Science and technology have replaced magic, which has dwindled until it has become little more than an element of myth and legend. There are those who still have dragon blood flowing through their veins, distant descendants of the mighty creatures of old. These rare humans have the power to cast magic, the power to heal, and the power to craft alchemical weapons capable of starting wars...or ending them.

What happens when the haggling is done and the shops are closed? When the quest has been given, the steeds saddled, and the adventurers are off to their next encounter? They keep the world running, the food cooked, and the horses shoed, yet what adventurer has ever spared a thought or concern for the Non-Player Characters? In the town of Maplebark, four such NPCs settle in for a night of actively ignoring the adventurers drinking in the tavern when things go quickly and fatally awry.

The DFZ, the metropolis formerly known as Detroit, is the world’s most magical city with a population of nine million and zero public safety laws. That’s a lot of mages, cybernetically enhanced chrome heads, and mythical beasties who die, get into debt, and otherwise fail to pay their rent. When they can’t pay their bills, their stuff gets sold to the highest bidder. That’s when they call me. I’m a Cleaner: a freelance mage employed by the DFZ to sort through the mountains of magical junk people leave behind. It’s not a pretty job, or a safe one....

Publisher's summary
All Doctor Dire wants to do is save the world.
But those pesky heroes keep getting in the way, and it's all she can do to give them a good fight without killing them. Supervillainy is such an underappreciated job these days....

Suspension of disbelief difficult
The author is making this story use real world constructs like machinery and circuits instead of just "it's magic". Yet when main character has 25% circuitry failure, her mech suit is still pretty much 100% functional, the only difference is things can take longer / splurt a bit. It's more like a computer game character that continues to be just fine until the life bar goes to 0 and then the fully functioning person becomes dead.

Nice listen
I listened to this audio book on a whim since I like some of the authors other books. I was happy to find a good funny listen. Love the perspective of the villain who is actually a good person. I really recommend it. Now I am off to listen to the next in the series :)

Hidden gem
I picked up this short story on a whim and was SO SURPRISED. I've never experienced a 48 min story make me feel like I just completed a 12 hour fully fleshed out story. Dr. Dire is now my new favorite sometimes Hero. I'm immediately going on to the first full length novel in the series and can't wait to see what Andrew Seiple can deliver with nearly 12 times the content. WELL DONE!

The first taste..
Love the Dire series.
This one feels like a tiny encapsulated sampler (a seiple sample?) of the themes.
As someone who has already read many of the books in the series, it was a little nostalgic and makes me want to relisten from “born”.

Good, but didnt get much out of this
This short was well written and gave a small introduction into some of the characters in the main storyline but didnt shed much light onto who the previous incarnation of Dire truely was. Was about one of her schemes which wasnt necessarily evil but maybe a bit callus which shows some difference between the Dire we get to know in the main story line but i was hoping for a solid reason for why she erased her memory.bi suppose that would spoil the mystery though which the author is clearly building until one of the later books. Overall it was alright but nothing ground breaking.

Too woke for me
First book was great it subsequent books became too woke for me. Most of characters are homosexual and exploring their same sex relationships. Conservative politician turned out to be a rapist kidnapper. Black characters focus on race a lot Too politically woke.
