The Poison Eaters and Other Stories by Holly Black

In this collection of twelve short stories on which all but two have appeared elsewhere, Holly Black revisits in two of these stories the Modern Faerie Tale setting. The story "The Land of Heart's Desire" picks up at the end of Ironside and tells of an exchange between Roiben and Corny and fills in some background information about Roiben's life and what his thoughts are about Kaye.

And I love "Paper Cuts Scissors" where a library school student takes a job organizing  book collection for an older gentleman with some unexpected consequences. The flow of the story is even subdivided into headings based on the Dewey Decimal System.

Other stories have vampire and werewolves as characters.

Readers will enjoy Holly Black's Modern Faerie Tale and Curse Workers series.
