Synopsis
Side Jobs: Stories from the Dresden Files is the first short-fiction collection in the series, gathering eleven previously published stories chronicling cases Harry Dresden and his allies handled outside the main novels, alongside one new novella set right after the events of Changes.
Where it sits
- Universe: The Dresden Files
- Series: not part of a registered series (standalone work within its universe)
- Author: Jim Butcher
Notes
- Collection of ~12 short stories/novellas, each explicitly slotted into a specific gap between main-sequence novels through Changes, plus one story ('Aftermath') original to the collection. Classified Expanded, not Core, under the collection-as-Core exception: unlike Conan/Fafhrd/Witcher, these stories are interstitial supplementary material dependent on the novels' arcs, not an equally load-bearing primary reading unit.
Neighbouring works
Publication order and internal chronology are tracked as two separate orderings and are never conflated: a book's place in one says nothing about its place in the other.
- Publication order, within The Dresden Files (standalone work): position 13 of 22: previous Changes (2010) · next Ghost Story (2011)
