A Touch of Dead gathers short stories from Charlaine Harris's Southern Vampire world, centred on Sookie Stackhouse, a telepathic barmaid in the small town of Bon Temps, Louisiana. Each story slots in between events of the novels, so the familiar vampires, shapeshifters and other supernatural neighbours of Bon Temps turn up in short, self-contained episodes of small-town trouble.
It is for fans of the Sookie Stackhouse novels who want extra episodes with familiar characters. Newcomers should read some of the main series first, since the stories assume you know the vampires, shapeshifters and the town's social rules.
Practical, clear-cut and escapist; an easy read.
Best for readers like The Escapist Adventurer. Which reader are you?
