"Target Rich Environment, Volume I" by Larry Correia
https://www.amazon.com/Target-Rich-Environment-Larry-Correia/dp/1481484281/

Book number one of a two book dark fantasy short story series. This
book series is part of the Monster Universe books which are around
twenty in number so far. I read the well printed and well bound MMPB
published by Baen in 2019. I have yet to decide if I am going to
purchase and read the second book in the series since I am just not a
big fan of short stories.

The first story in the book is "Tanya, Princess of the Elves".
According to a previous documentary, Tolkien got the orcs correctly
documented. But, he did not get the elves correctly documented. Some
of the elves left the old country in the 17th or 18th century and moved
to Alabama in the new World. Now the queen of the elves is 150 years
old, four foot tall, weighs 300 pounds, lives in a ninety foot long
double wide in the Enchanted Forest in Alabama, and likes to sprinkle
ranch dressing on her Ho-Hos while watching Jeopardy and Wheel of
Fortune. The USA government made a deal with her that she and her elves
would get disability checks for the rest of their lives as long as they
never ventured past the Walmart in Tupolo. Tanya is her only daughter
who wants to be a monster hunter. Tanya sneaks into a monster hunter
expedition and meets Edward, an orc who has watched every single Kung Fu
movie and is a master of the medium length sword. Together they destroy
a colony of blargs.

The author has a very busy website at:

My rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Amazon rating: 4.7 out of 5 stars (401 ratings)

It sounds like Tolkien "documented" the elves reasonably accurately,
by that. The Elves sailed West... and people there who knew them
well weren't pleased without qualification to see them arrive.

Tolkien's elves are beautiful. Correia's elves, not so much.

Traditional folk lore elves were _DANGEROUS_.

The Discworld elves are pretty nasty as well.

As were Tolkien's if you got on the wrong side of them.

That's not an elf, that's a plague doctor. I was tempted to get one
of those as a COVID mask.
