Review:
Bacon takes place in the same Sookie Stackhouse world from the Southern Vampire series but minus Sookie. If you read Harris’ story Tacky in the anthology My Big Fat Supernatural Wedding then these characters will already be familiar to you. If your planning on reading both, start with Tacky and STOP READING THIS REVIEW because it will spoil aspects of that story. In Bacon, newly widowed vampire Dahlia seeks out the aid of a witch descendent of Circe to get revenge on the werewolf pack that killed her were husband. So far, this is my least favorite story in this anthology: It’s predictable, feels small because it fails to take advantage of the Sookieverse, and lacks even one likable character. At only 32 pages, it went on way too long.
Sexual Content: None
*Bacon is part of Strange Brew: An anthology of stories edited by P N Elrod. I will be reviewing the other stories in this anthology in separate posts.

This book sounds pretty interesting! I like when different authors write stories that are then compiled into one book--gives you a variety. And can sometimes lead to finding an author you'd never read before but like. :-)
