Y me pregunto: ¿lo molieron a palos de verdad para que sea más realista todo?
¿Y por qué carajos el bisabuelo sabía si Sookie cogía o no ?
Lo que sí sé que no me gustó fue que le echara la culpa a Jason, que es un idiota egoísta de mierda, pero en esto es inocente
Los demás cuentos me gustaron sin dudas.
En Lucky o afortunadas me gustó el dúo Amelia-Sookie.

I didn't feel like there was any real point to any of these stories. In fact I found the last one to be a little creepy.

I liked the additional background that was missing from some of the novels, but these were terrible stories on their own. The most awful is Gift Wrap. What did I just read?!

Glad these were all collected in one place, so I didn't need to hunt them down. Especially since I'm not sure any would be worth hinting, except for the fact that they are cannon and mentioned in the books. Too much description, not enough story. Very insubstantial, and the characters seem like sillier versions of themselves. Eric fan boy for Dracula, really?

Great-grandpa gives Sookie a really nice Xtmas gift :) My favourite of all of them.

"A Touch of Dead" by Charlaine Harris is a nice little treat for Harris's fans, consisting of five previously published stories starring Sookie Stackhouse. For the most part, the stories are amusing but fairly inconsequential. With the exception of "One Word Answer", you're not missing much if you skip the stories and just read the novels of the Southern Vampire series. "One Word Answer", however, introduces some facts about Sookie's cousin Hadley, which come into play in the 6th book in the series, as well as providing a first glimpse of Mr. Cataliades and Sophie-Ann LeClerq. If you skip the story, you'll be scratching your head a bit when you read "Definitely Dead". The introduction to "A Touch of Dead" provides information as to where each story fits into the chronology of the Southern Vampire series, which is helpful if you're a purist and want to read everything in order. "A Touch of Dead" is definitely not for anyone who isn't already a fan, but for Sookie-philes, it's a fun, lightweight snack.
