Book Review - A Touch of Dead by Charlaine Harris

Sunday, June 20, 2010

I have been so enjoying the Sookie books by Charlaine Harris that when I saw there was a collection of the short stories starring Sookie I just had to get it from the library.
A Touch of Dead (Sookie Stackhouse: The Complete Stories) was all I had hoped. I had read a couple of the stories already in other collections but it was great to reread them in chronological order in this book.
The stories in this collection are "Fairy Dust," "One Word Answer," "Dracula Night," "Lucky," and "Giftwrap."with a great little introduction from Charlaine Harris. I love introductions that talk right to the reader and lets them in on the process of writing, this one does just that.
There are other Sookieverse stories out there that are not included in this book which would be nice to have in a collection one day that is also in chronological order because for a person like me that came into the series late it is easy to get the full novels in order but a bit harder to find all the short stories in the right order. A collection one day that has ALL the short stories in order would be awesome but for now A Touch of Dead starring Sookie is a great read and a must read for anyone reading the Sookie series.
