A bit uneven but fun.

My Big Fat Supernatural Wedding is a fun concept, with contributions by some wonderful writers.

It's the perfect book to toss into your bag when your reading time is restricted to waiting on line at the bank, the dentist's office, etc.

Nothing heavy here, but some good supernatural laughs.

Not Free SF Reader

An anthology of stories that are most paranormal romance it would seem, which is no big surprise given the title or the popularity of such. Hardcore fans of that subgenre will like this more than people just looking for some fantasy stories, undoubtedly.

The main exception, and the best story here is Jim Butcher's entry, and that is also a Harry Dresden story, for the completists of that character. Mostly why I decided to give it a go, too.

So, a lot of light-hearted silliness, even a Pirates of the Carribean lite style story by Rachel Caine. As such, the story average is only a touch over the mediocre 3.00. I really wouldn't expect too much more from a book like this though of course, that is not particularly the point.

Fun, Wierd Weddings!

This was an enjoyable read. I've always liked short stories, especially since I had kids and can't devote as much time to reading anymore. Each of these stories was entertaining and got me interested in other works by each of the authors. Don't have a lot of time to devote to a single story? Pick up this book. It will have what you need!My Big Fat Supernatural Wedding

Enterteining read

Out of all the short novellas in this book, I liked may be 2-3 only. Some of the stories are too short to get into the author's world, and too brief to leave any lasting impressions. It's a good idea to read this anthology as an introduction to work of many talented authors presented in this book.

Some great stories, some not so great

I frequently like anthologies as a way to discover new authors and new ideas - this one doesn't disappoint. Whoever you've been reading, you'll find a new author in this book. Some stories are strong, and I'll be happy to investigate other work by the same authors. Others are relatively weak: they felt unimaginative and programmed. If you're a big supernatural fan who sometimes reads romance (I'm not), this is probably the book for you.
