 Sookie short stories - worth reading or not? August 21, 2010
Roman Clodia (London)
This collects the short stories Harris has written for various anthologies and so is a bit of a filler. The stories vary in tone and interest and are interspersed throughout the time-line of the series.
Fairy Dust and Lucky have Sookie playing detective first amongst the fairies, and then in Bon Temps with Amelia as side-kick. One Word Answer tells the story of Sookie's cousin Hadley's death which, if you've already read the series to date, you'll know all about. Dracula Night offers some much-needed Eric, and Gift Wrap takes place after Dead and Gone so shouldn't be read before that unless you're not bothered by spoilers.
So are these worth reading? Harris doesn't seem to have found her feet as a short story writer and these feel like fragments rather than shaped narratives in their own right. They're worth reading for dedicated Sookie fans but don't really add much, and aren't a good place for new readers to start as they don't give a flavour of Harris' true skills.

 Disappointing August 1, 2010

I brought this having become addicted to the True Blood book series...this is a compilation of 4 short stories supposedly to fill in some gaps...but in my opinion I'd skip this and move straight on to 'dead in the family' which is as brilliant as the rest. Just didnt see the point of this book... you could live without knowing anything thats in A touch of Dead.

I liked that you got to know a little background to answered some of those little questions that you sometimes get at the end of a book.
