Development

Clare, Johnson, and Brennan have stated that development on the series began when they were telling stories about Clare's character of Magnus Bane to each other. They decided that the non-traditional style of interconnected novellas would be best served by initial Internet publication. The series is also notable for using well-known actors as narrators for the audiobook versions of each novella. The authors provided a list of dream narrators to their publisher, and each audiobook has a different narrator, including Andrew Scott, Michael Trevino, and Jesse Williams.[3] For some of the actors, this was their first time doing voice work.[4]

The first 10 stories were released between April 2013 and March 2014, and the compiled print version, released in November 2014, contained an eleventh story exclusive to the book.
