In "Fairy Dust" Sookie meets Claude (Claudine's brother) for the first time and works on solving Claudette's mysterious death.
"Dracula Night" is a story never mentioned in the Southern Vampire Mysteries and has no affect on the plot, it's just fun. Did you know Eric Northman's hero is Vlad Tempe? Neither did Sookie, but when she is invited to his annual birthday party she quickly learns a bit more about her vampire friends.
"One Word Answer" is the story of how Sookie meets Mr.Cataliades, Sophie-Anne Leclerq, and learns of her cousin Hadley's death.
In "Lucky" Amelia Broadway and Sookie are asked to investigate disturbances in a local insurance company owned by a witch.
In "Gift Wrap" Sookie finds a naked and injured supe on her property on Christmas Eve. She brings him in, cleans him up, and he gives her a very pleasant Christmas.
I really enjoyed A Touch of Dead. Season 4 of True Blood is premiering June 26th so this compilation was a nice lead up, something to sate my thirst you could say. The short stories meant that I didn't lose interest, and I'm one of those readers who always wondered "what happens next?" when the novel ends, so this was fulfilling for me. I recommend this to all you fellow Truebies who want to get back in the mood for Blood!
5 out of 5 stars.
