Following the adventures of two brothers who investigate deeply strange and paranormal mysteries in their never-ending road trip, the TV show Supernatural has many fans eager to better understand the psychology behind the series' themes and characters.

Featuring cast and crew interviews, this collection examines issues at the heart and soul of Supernatural's heroes and foes (fans, too):

• The role grief and trauma play in the protagonists' lives
• The importance of music to the narrative
• What motivates someone to hunt monsters and why we want to believe in magic
• How angels relate to humanity and what that has to do with real intergroup conflict
• How people can cope with tragedy, loss, addiction, and fear to become heroes who do the right thing
• The dynamics of fandom: how fans relate to the narrative, characters, and actors, and continue to engage with series through fanfic, social media, and other practices

This is a solid listen after having watched the series. plenty of spoilers, and also plenty there to flesh out already great characters while adding some real-world stuff into the mix.

Supernatural Psychology

This was a pretty good read.Listening to the psychology behind the characters and relationships in my favorite tv show was enlightening.I could relate to the author in a lot of things. Joe Hempel and Hilary Huber were good narrators.

I was tricked by the title,

I was tricked by the title, I thought that it was about the psychology behind supernatural Sci-Fi. It turns out this is about the TV show Supernatural and its fandom. To be totally honest I am a BIG fan of Jonathan Maberry which was my main reason for selecting this book. I was a fan of the show but I am not on the level of many fans described. I did discover that it is about what I originally thought, kinda.

The authors skillfully used psychology to explain many of the events in the series as well as fans' reactions and connections. I found it interesting mainly when focusing on scenes and situations that I remembered as well as how the characters effected their fans. Looking back it was not totally my cup of tea, but I did enjoy it.

I would though highly recommend this book to anyone who was a fan of Supernatural.

A break down of the characters psychology.

The writers had many great points to help break down the psychology of the characters and the life situations made them the tough heroes we all love.

Textbook

This book is using the Supernatural TV show like a textbook. They are analyzing the characters on the show. This is not a fan based book
