 not impressed November 21, 2009
Abigail G. Metzker (oregon)
I follow the sookie stackhouse collection and this story was so short it felt like the story didn't start till the last couple sentences. I don't follow the rest of the authors I tried a couple others stories. Just not for me. Not impressed .
 Great for light reading November 9, 2009

This is a great book for people who don't have time to sit down and read a thick novel. It is compiled of several short stories that can be read in one sitting. I really enjoy the vampire stories that are so popular right now. I would definitely recommend it.
 Loved it! October 25, 2009

I'll admit it....I bought this book for the Sookie Stackhouse story. I'm a big Charlaine Harris fan and having read all of her books, I wanted to read her short stories (especially the ones relating to the Sookie series of books). The Sookie story was the first short story in the book...I enjoyed it! But I loved the book!! I honestly didn't think that I would even finish the rest of the book, didn't plan on it even. But the Sookie story was so short, I kept reading. I was pleasantly surprised to enjoy every short story in the book. Most of them I LOVED and had me wishing the story could have continued or that I could have just known more about a character that so quickly I was caring about. At the end of each story, I would re-read the intro about the author and found that the story was very like the Sookie Stackhouse story because it included characters from that author's book series. Or the short story was written by talented authors from "this genre". So for me, this book was a little gem that has led me to new authors and books that I would have never read if I hadn't picked up "Many Bloody Returns".

good read!!! October 4, 2009

This is a wonderful book.
I've enjoyed reading some new authors I had'nt read.
Charlaine Harris has proven that she is also a talented
editor. Unusual combination of birthdays and vampires,
true, but wild to see how different perspectives on the
same subject can be written. Wow, great srories! I'll
be finding new writters to enjoy since this book!
