So after reading all of the Sookie books (check out Holly's reviews!), I decided to go for it and grab the Complete Stories because I adored everything else. I was not disappointed at all.
The stories are quick, fun reads, and they clear up and give you even more depth to Sookie's life between books.
The stories include Sookie cracking the case of Claude and Claudette's triplet's murder, Sookie finding out her cousin Hadley was a vampire before being killed, the celebration of Dracula's night, and Sookie saving a were and spending an unforgettable Christmas Eve night with him, before being surprised by her great grandfather and spending Christmas with him.
My favorite was definitely the Christmas Eve one but of course I loved them all.
What are everyone's thoughts on the covers? Normally, I would hate them, but honestly I've kind of come to accept them as part and parcel of the Sookie way. I really do not like the covers of the trade paperbacks. I feel like they're kind of exactly like the Buffy covers. If you could design Sookie covers, what would they be?

I've only read the first novel of this series, so i don't have much to say on the subject of the short stories. But I can't resist the opportunity to say I HATE THE COVERS too. Sounds weird, but the book covers are a major reason why I took so long to start reading the series.
I'm with you! I looked at the covers initially and kind of sneered. Holly talked me into checking out the books despite it, and I've kind of grudgingly accepted them. I hope they redo the covers in another reprint. The trade covers are mega disappointing for me.
