A touch of dead


Is a collection of stories from the trueblood series. It has short stories of what happens in between the books. Beginning with “Fairy Dust”, Sookie is hired by fairies to do a bit of mental eavesdropping in order to discover a murderer’s identity, and then finds herself getting some unwelcome attention at Fangtasia’s Halloween party in “Dracula Night.”“One Work Answer” is a more complex story that picks up shortly after Sookie’s cousin was staked in a New Orleans cemetery. It includes a demon lawyer, Babba, Bill and a vampire queen plus a neat twist on a murder mystery. When one insurance agent’s business begins doing exceptionally well, Sookie assisted by her witchy housemate Amelia, look behind the scenes to see what’s responsible in “Lucky.” Before Sookie can sink into holiday depression, she discovers a wounded werewolf on her property in desperate need of assistance. By being a helpful person, Sookie receives a special Christmas package in “Gift Wrap."
