Reviews"No one knows the world of Supernatural better than Lynn Zubernis--and this collection is a compelling exploration of the powerful binding spell woven by the Winchester brothers' saga, and a terrific road map of the heavenly rewards that come from being part of the show or its one-of-a-kind fandom. In short, this book rocks." --Maureen Ryan, Variety "For those who think that Supernatural is just another show, or who think its Fandom is just like any other fandom, Family Don't End With Blood is a sweet introduction to everything that makes the Supernatural experience unique. I can offer it no higher praise than this: It already occupies an honored place on Metatron's bookshelf!" -- Curtis Armstrong, author of Revenge of the Nerd and actor on Supernatural, Revenge of the Nerds , Risky Business , Better Off Dead , and Moonlighting
SynopsisHow a Show, and the Support of Its Fandom, Changed--and Saved--Lives May 2017 marks the end of the twelfth season of the CW hit Supernatural , a television show about two demon-hunting brothers (and an angel) that is at the center of a fan community as tight-knit as family--a virtual support system that spans the globe. The three-time People's Choice Award winner for Favorite Sci-Fi/Fantasy TV Show and Tumblr's 2015 Most Reblogged "Live Action TV" show has made a name for itself by supporting and encouraging its fans to "always keep fighting," a main theme echoed in the show, and demonstrating the inspiring truth to a memorable line from early in the show's run: "Family don't end with blood."In twenty powerful chapters written by Supernatural 's actors and fans, including series lead Jared Padalecki, Family Don't End with Blood: How Supernatural Has Changed Lives examines the far reach of the show's impact over the last eleven years. Supernatural has encouraged fans to change their lives, from getting "sober for Sam" to escaping a cult to pursuing lifelong dreams. But fans aren't the only ones who have been changed. The actors who bring the show to life have also found, in the show and its community, inspiration, courage, and the strength to keep going when life seemed too hard.In keeping with the show's message to "always keep fighting," and to support the important work of combatting stigma and encouraging those who are struggling to speak out, a portion of the proceeds from the book will be donated to charity Attitudes in Reverse, whose mission is to educate young people about mental health and suicide prevention.Contributors from Supernatural 's cast include:Jared Padelecki ("Sam Winchester")Jim Beaver ("Bobby Singer")Ruth Connell ("Rowena MacLeod")Osric Chau ("Kevin Tran")Rob Benedict ("Chuck Shurley aka God")Kim Rhodes ("Sheriff Jody Mills")Briana Buckmaster ("Sheriff Donna Hanscum")Matt Cohen ("Young John Winchester")Gil McKinney ("Henry Winchester")Rachel Miner ("Meg Masters")Edited by Lynn S.
