A follow up to Family Don't End with Blood (2017) from the same editor, this collection of essays celebrates the lasting impact of Supernatural as it comes to an end.
"
There'll Be Peace When You Are Done poignantly and poetically captures the bigger legacy of
Supernatural. For 40-odd minutes a week, it was about hunting, but, as this volume of unabashedly honest and open essays proves, for 24/7, 365 it has been about saving people."
—Danielle Turchiano, senior features editor at Variety "In this moving, thoughtful, and beautifully curated collection, Lynn Zubernis has perfectly captured being a part of such a wild—and inimitable—ride. The Winchesters' greatest accomplishment (outside of saving the world a few times) is definitely the #SPNFamily, and the beating heart of the fandom and the good works it has inspired live in the pages of
There'll Be Peace When You Are Done. I can't think of a better tribute or testament to a show that has meant so much to so many than this wonderful book."
—Courtney Summers, New York Times bestselling author of SadieDr. Lynn S. Zubernis is a clinical psychologist, a mom of two, a university professor—and a passionate fangirl. She fell in love with the television show

Squee! The Fangirl Documentary and blogs at fangasmthebook on Wordpress. That's her academic half; the fangirl half writes fanfiction whenever she can, braves the lines at Comic-Con, collects
Supernatural gifs on Tumblr (yes, we have a gif for everything), and has purchased way too many photo ops at
Supernatural conventions.
