Fifteen years. Two brothers. Angels and demons. A story like no other. And one of the most passionate fan bases of all time. That's Supernatural. There'll Be Peace When You Are Done: Actors and Fans Celebrate the Legacy of Supernatural is an emotional look back at the beloved television show Supernatural as it wraps up its final season after fifteen unprecedented years on air. With heartfelt chapters written by both the series' actors and its fans—plus full-color photos and fan illustrations—There'll Be Peace When You Are Done traces Supernatural's evolution, the memorable characters created by its writers and brought to life by its talented actors, and the many ways in which the show has inspired and changed the lives of both its viewers and cast. Both a celebration of Supernatural and a way of remembering what made it so special, this book is a permanent reminder of the legacy the show leaves behind and a reminder to the SPN Family to, like the series' unofficial theme song says, "carry on." Featuring chapters from Jared Padalecki ("Sam Winchester") and Jensen Ackles ("Dean Winchester"), which include some of the most heartfelt and emotional things they've previously said about Supernatural that they want fans to remember—plus new reflections about Sam and Dean's legacy, There'll Be Peace When You Are Done also includes original contributions from: • Richard Speight, Jr. ("Gabriel") • Chad Lindberg ("Ash") • Julie McNiven ("Anna Milton") • Tahmoh Penikett ("Gadreel") • Shoshannah Stern ("Eileen Leahy") • Rick Worthy ("Alpha Vamp") • David Haydn-Jones ("Arthur Ketch") • Lauren Tom ("Linda Tran") • And many more, including a special message from Misha Collins ("Castiel") Edited by Lynn S. Zubernis, a clinical psychologist, professor, and passionate Supernatural fangirl, There'll Be Peace When You Are Done is the ultimate send-off for this iconic show that has touched and changed the lives of so many fans across all walks of life.

Both on and off-screen the show Supernatural has helped hundreds of people. Lynn S. Zubernis has compiled a second collection of essays showcasing how a pop culture show has influenced people's lives. From learning how to be true to yourself, to gaining the courage to continue each day, There'll Be Peace When You Are Done is a testament to the power of fandom.
It's hard to imagine a show having such a huge impact on both fans and actors. But each new story within There'll Be Peace When You Are Done brings to light another moment where the show turned someone's life around. As a fellow fan who would not be around without the show, I felt connected to every one of these stories. The SPNFamily is immense, and for those who don't quite understand the appeal of Supernatural, diving into this book and its counterpart, Family Don't End with Blood, will help you gain that understanding.
Deep down Supernatural teaches people to never give up. Challenge yourself, and always strive to be true to yourself. Themes of overcoming addiction, surviving toxic relationships, helping others, and so much more are contained in this one show. Actors who were on the verge of quitting the industry, after meeting the cast of Supernatural, gained renewed enthusiasm for their line of work. Fans who fought mental illnesses for years, found the courage to continue living after learning of actors who suffered from the same. There are also quite a few fans who have created charities to help those in need because they were inspired by the actors' own efforts.
There'll Be Peace When You Are Done is an eye-opening experience. People's lives are captured at their most vulnerable and shown how they carried on through the power of Supernatural. Fans of the show, and those wanting to understand the cultural phenomena that is Supernatural should pick up this book.
