Dresden Files Books

Discover all the books from the Dresden Files urban fantasy series at Barnes & Noble. The Dresden Files is Jim Butcher's first published book series. The books tell the story of Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden, Chicago's first (and only) Wizard P.I., as he recounts investigations into supernatural disturbances in modern-day Chicago.

Butcher wrote the first Dresden Files book, Storm Front, for a writing class. Each book from the series has a standalone mystery, combines the supernatural and the mundane world, and many of the characters include vampires, werewolves, and faeries. The Dresden Files books are known for their witty humor, magical world-building, fast-paced storylines, and hard-core fans!
