An anthology of fantasy short stories on the theme of payback.
I wanted to read this one because I'm a fan of the Dresden Files. “Mister Petty" is a fun side story to the series, and features an investigator who is quite a bit different than Harry. I loved the comeuppance that the loathsome people got!
Tanya Huff's "Contained" was another standout story for me. Henry Fitzroy tracks down the people responsible for killing someone under his protection. It's self-contained enough that a deep knowledge of the Blood Books and Henry Fitzroy series isn't necessary.
My favorite story wound up being "Dog-Eared" by Kim Harrison. It's set in the early part of the Hollows series and features the demon Algaliarept serving out 100% proportionate and justified retribution against a human who damaged a rare book.
The rest of the stories I found fair to middling, but that's my experience of most themed anthologies.
