The stories were good, but this book was really short. It seems like after the TruBlood HBO series came out, the pressure for Harris to "hurry up and publish" has caused the quality and quantity of the content in her Sookie books to go down. The stories are good, but they are very short and there are only a few in the book. On the positive side, it is interesting if you have read the series as the stories fill in some gaps and all go back to different time periods from the series. So, it is a good read, I just wish it contained two or three times as much content.
