 A Touch of Dead (Sookie Stackhouse: The Complete Stories) by Charlaine Harris July 26, 2010
Lisa Faith Bragg
I really loved this book. I am a fan of the series and I really loved this book. I hope that Mrs. Harris keeps writing short stories about Sookie to go along with the books.
 Loved it! Wish it was longer! July 17, 2010

If you are a fan of the HBO show, or of the Sookie Stackhouse books, you will enjoy this book.
There are already descriptions of the time frame for each story, and these seem to be tales that just didn't quite fit into the tone of the other books.
They are great at adding information though, and much more "stand alone" than the author's normal style, which often includes page turning cliff hangers and a need for "what will happen now?"
I'd buy it just for the expanded tale about the fairies, but I enjoyed each of the stories quite a bit. The endings were unlike Ms. Harris' normal style, so a tad jarring at first, but quite satisfying at the same time.
If you think of the series of books as a continuous delicious feasts, then these stories are the lovely little special treats offered from a dessert cart at the end, a perfectly ripe Belgian chocolate covered strawberry here, a creme brulee there, homemade coconut ice cream in a cookie shell over there, and all kinds of little goodies to enjoy.
I'd give it five stars, but for such a slim volume, the price was a tad high, still, it was fun and informative, and filled in some lovely blanks. The stories, though certainly set in the same situations as the books, do not always jive with the actions in the "real" books. That didn't bother me, but it might bother some.
For example, in one story, Sookie meets the queen under quite different circumstances. Hadley's death is also different. I looked at it as a glimpse into various options Ms. Harris considered whilst creating her world.
I just wish we had a few more stories in the book!
TWO THUMBS & BOTH BIG TOES UP!!! July 7, 2010

No disrespect intended or implied to anyone else who read & reviewed this book ... I completely read the book description prior to purchase, so I had no nasty surprises or disappointment. Armed with full disclosure that this was an inbetweenie compendum of short stories ~ sort of like an appetizer to tide me over until the next book in the series was published, I gobbled up the stories, greedy for more! It was completely satisfying, without the guilt or calories! BUUUUURP!!! :)
Can't get enough Sookie! July 6, 2010

These are vignettes of Sookie's saga--they fill in some blanks from the book, others are just short stories...not as satisfying as the books, but still entertaining, and oh! so Sookie!
