In an attempt to make it easy for folks to find the rules they need, I've put together a complete rules index for every item found in the Monster Focus line (available right here at Paizo). I'll endeavor to keep this list up to date as new PDFs are released.
Updated to include rules from Monster Focus Mummies

Thanks Jason! Handy!
You are quite welcome.
As a note, I did not include Favored Terrain: Crossroads Inn on the list because it does not contain rules elements. Hmm, maybe I should add the NPCs.

This makes me want to buy these products
Ill have to enter them into herolabs on my own but this summer it might be worth it
They are very worth the small price Joey! I highly recommend.
Jason is there a chance that after you have like 5 or 10 of these books like doing a print anthology?
Nevermind now that I see how small they are but what about a POD on another RPG PDF site that does PODs?
They are very worth the small price Joey! I highly recommend.
I was on the fence before, but seeing this index sold me on all three Monster Focus files. Oh, the evil, sick, wrong things one can do with a necromancer whose Skeletal Lord minions have the Skull Lord feat.... }:)
(And one does have to wonder if such a necromancer can apply that feat to handling said Skeletal Lord minions, because if he can.... O.O)
Trace, corpse field of brood zombies.
I currently dont have any plans to do a print product, but who knows what might happen down the road.
I'm glad folks are enjoying my little imprint. Its a fun way for me to play around with some rules.

He can. I made those feats so a necromancer truly could have a veritable horde of skeletons.

Ye Gods, Jason - there are modern countries that can’t field that many troops! O.O
What a week to start making a necromancer!

The thing to remember is that skeletal lords are difficult to create, giving your GM some control over the number that you can get. But yeah, its pretty good.

When is it not a good time to start making a necromancer?
Wow, I just want to thank everybody that picked up Monster Focus: Ghouls, putting it in the #1 spot here on the list of pdfs from other publishers.
Awesome

Cleaned up a few bad links.
Updated to include rules from Monster Focus: Mummies

Man, the ability to update the post with new things is totally an unfair advantage :p
Very Nice.
dot
Dot?
dot == not wanting to lose the thread in the middle of all the others that I follow. With a "dot", aka any post, it shows up since I most always use focus on the boards.
Looks very nice more money spent on keeping my players on their toes
As for the dot.. yeah, that makes sense now. I realized it a minute after you posted.
As for keeping players on their toes, it is one of my many services.

Ha.. I never realized other people did not have the ability to edit their own posts. That seems odd...
We do, but only for about two hours. Something about not changing the past.
Woo hoo... that means im a time lord!!! Clearly... or, you know, I just have eerie powers.
Instead of continuing to update this index on multiple different sites, I have now updated it over at the Minotaur Games site.
It is now current through Monster Focus: Liches.

Ooooh, liches. I missed that before!
Off to the store, back in a minute with milk, eggs, and a phylactery.
Note, you can barely buy milk or eggs for the price of this quality PDF! You sure as hell can't buy both.
And Phylacteries cost 120,000 gp. That's a pricey store you are shopping at. :)
Yeah, you can go to one of those discount phylactery stores, but when you come back as an appentice lich or a zombie, dont say I didn't warn you.
