The Supernatural Novels

Are they any good?

I never really thought to pick one up before, but since I'm doing a rewatch, I was thinking I could read them as I rewatch. I read all the XFiles novels back in the day and the Primeval novels were action-packed. But I never read fan fiction for those shows.

So now that my Kindle is finally working again, is it worth buying any of them, or would I be better off just downloading more fanfic off A03? Are some much better than others? Do they really fit into canon? If they're even half decent I'll likely give them a go.

Thoughts welcome from anyone who has read them and has any opinion on them. No spoilers though, please. :D

Oooh I saw Bobby's guidebook. May have to pick it up. Is it picture heavy (i.e. should I buy the book) or just text (okay as a text only eBook (I have quite the old-style Kindle)?

I had no idea there were choose-your-own-adventure stories. Ha! Awesome! I'll keep an eye out for them. :D

Thanks, it does help. You have a fab weekend too, lovely! xx

For Bobby's hunting-guide, it's better when you're buying the book, because there are alot of great b/w illustrations [art by Anthony Diecidue] included, mixed with some scary b/w pictures, also created by the artist.

But it's definitely worth it. This also applies to Tim Waggoner's "choose-your-own-adventure" book, "The Roads Not Taken" too, IMO.

JOLLY GOOD, sweetheart; if you made your decision(s) *g* it would be great to get a little review from you... ;)

Awesome! Thanks!
I'll have a look on Amazon for a real world copy then. :D

I'll let people know how I go, whether I like 'em. Currently reading Unholy Cause.
