The hit show from the producers of The O.C. and The X-Files, starring Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles, continues its spooky road-trip through the dark heart of America.

And now, monsters, angels and demons roam across a lawless and chaotic landscape. And so Dean Winchester, who has retired from hunting and sworn never to return, finds himself being pulled back into his old life - pulled back by none other than Sam Winchester, who has escaped from Hell. The two reunite to beat back the rising tide of creatures and demon-spawn, but they quickly realize that neither are who they used to be, their relationship isn't what it used to be, and that nothing is what it seems. 

This official companion is packed with exclusive interviews, photos, behind-the-scenes secrets, acomplete episode guide, plus a color portrait gallery of the stars.

4.0 out of 5 stars 11 Clues Your Brother Might Not Have a Soul April 21, 2012

By Cynthia Boris

Format:Paperback

Did you know that Jensen Ackles' dad provided the newscaster voice in the first episode Jensen directed, "Weekend at Bobby's?"

Did you know that the purgatory manual in "Like a Virgin" was made out of real skin - pig, not human.

Did you know that Supernatural: The Official Companion for Season 6 is loaded with trivia, quotes and photos from every episode in the season? Of course, you did but I'm going to tell you more about it anyway.

Season Six began with domesticated Dean and Souless Sam. Grandpa Campbell also returned with a singular goal in mind - do what ever he can to please a demon so he can see his daughter Mary again. It was all about the Alphas, the very first creatures that begat all the rest of the creatures and that meant some terrifying close calls for the Winchester brothers.

The companion book begins with Sera Gamble and Robert Singer talking about a new direction for the series. Then there's a closer look at each of the episodes with trivia, music listings, quotes and black and white photos.

When you hit the center of the book, you'll find gold. Eight full page of glossy color photos including stunning portraits of Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki and Misha Collins and a collection of candid, behind-the-scenes shots. There's also a closer look at some of the Sixth Season's best props such as a heavenly blade and the Staff of Moses.

The book rolls into one page bios on the actors who joined the show for the season including Cindy Sampson (Lisa), Nicholas Elia (Ben), Mark Sheppard (Crowley) and Sebastian Roche (Balthazar). That's followed by installments in the Meet the Crew series (Cinematography, Line Producer and Special Effects) and a discussion called "Do you believe?"

Author Nicholas Knight wraps things up with a look at the current tie-in books and past year's conventions.

Oh, but before you close the cover on this companion book, Dean Winchester has a couple of things he wants to say. "11 Clues Your Brother Might Not Have a Soul" and "11 Signs Something Scarier Than the Apocalypse is Coming" will make you laugh while you take a trip down the Season Six memory lane.

Clue 9: You're abducted by aliens and [your brother] puts less effort into getting you back than most people put into choosing their words in a Scrabble game.

I think Dean is very glad that it's a new year full of new promise, new hope and all new monsters.

LOVE,LOVE,LOVE, this book. actually i love all the supernatural companion season books. i read some other books but whoever did them never put a lot of detail in them and i was disappointed in them. but whoever did the supernatural books knew what they were doing. you get in perfect detail the info on the charactrs, the stories, the actors, scenes, behind the scenes,etc. and i especially LOVE the pictures that they put in the books. if you ever buy the dvds of suoernatural, they do the same thing that are in the books, again i Love the bloopers in the dvds and love the stories. jensen ackles is a great actor, he never disappoints you. a very handsome guy that puts his heart and soul into his acting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Guides are getting better May 29, 2012

By M. Price

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

I've purchased all the Supernatural season guides, and this is by far the best one when it comes to getting the stars to give episode anecdotes and talk about their work. It also feels like more guest stars are quoted than in past guides. Too bad the season itself wasn't as good as past seasons.
