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!
