Summary: Vampires, Witches, and Birthdays Oh my
Comment: I must say that i did not think this compilation of short stories would be so great. However i really enjoyed it in its sinicism and I am really glad the book flowed smoothly
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great variety that leaves you wanting more!
Comment: I have just completed the southern vampire series & can not get enough of Sookie Stackhouse- True Blood is nice to watch but the books have so much more detail & HBO has made alot of character changes, I went from those to the twilight series (also very enjoyable) and have only just begun to read many bloody returns so far...so good!They are great short stories that leave you wanting more. I can not wait until the 9th book in the Sookie series comes I have already pre ordered it!

Summary: Another great Sookie Stackhouse
Comment: I think my 21 year old had read this 4 times already. Another fun book in the continuing saga of Sookie Stackhouse. Please keep them coming.
Customer Rating:
Summary: OK, but nothing special in here
Comment: I was really looking forward to this anthology, mainly because of the sookie stackhouse story. Perhaps this is why i found myself disappointed. While each story was interesting in its own way, the whole thing felt repetative and a bit dull. I would recommend finding it at your local library.

Summary: Vampires and birthdays
Comment: A collection of short stories by 13 authors featuring vampires and birthdays. The collection is not for everyone, but provides well written stories for people who like this genre of fiction. I had bought the collection earlier, but saved it for my birthday, which just started at midnight.
Like most collections, you will find a variety, and will find some stories that you will like better than others. I particularly liked "It's my birthday, too," by Jim Butcher which had its lighter moments. White magic fights black vampires, with quite a bit of damage as things get in the way. However will you explain things to people? If you try to tell people the truth, they will lock you up in a funny farm.
"Grave Robbed," by P.N. Elrod, is about undead PI Jack Fleming dealing with a fake medium who is victimizing a widow. He has some special investigative skills, such as dematerializing to pass through walls. He does have to work at night.
Some stories are more on the dark side. In "The Wish," by Carolyn Haines, a woman tries to deal with Death, and then tries to thwart Death's plans. The stories are not for the faint at heart, but if you have an interest in tales of vampires, wizards, and goblins, by all means read on.
