Nightlily: The Lovers' Tale - by Barbara Hambly

This is about Trevagg, a tax collector.

I actually found the part of the story dealing with his job and co-worker more interesting than the Nightlily portion. 

If I have any one criticism of it, I think the author crossed into the movie story too much.  By that I mean the main character heard too much of the dialogue from the film.  Some of the other stories were just as tied-in, but still remained observational. Without spoiling - the reason for this was addressed in the story and the character, but personally I've enjoyed the others more.  I find the stories more interesting when the events of the film are just casual observations by bar patrons.
