Book description
Cocktail waitress Sookie Stackhouse is having a streak of bad luck.
First her co-worker is killed, and no one seems to care. Then she comes
face-to-face with a beastly creature which gives her a painful and
poisonous lashing. Enter the vampires, who graciously suck the poison
from her veins (like they didn't enjoy it). The point is: they saved her
life. So when one of the bloodsuckers asks for a favour, she obliges -
and soon Sookie's in Dallas, using her telepathic skills to search for a
missing vampire. She's supposed to interview certain humans involved,
but she makes one condition: the vampires must promise to behave, and
let the humans go unharmed. But that's easier said than done, and all it
takes is one delicious blonde and one small mistake for things to turn
deadly . . .The Sookie Stackhouse books are delightful Southern Gothic
supernatural mysteries, starring Sookie, the telepathic cocktail
waitress, and a cast of increasingly colourful characters, including
vampires, werewolves and things that really do go bump in the night.
Charlaine Harris lives in southern Arkansas with her husband, three
children, two dogs, two ferrets, and a duck. An avid reader, mild
cinemafile, and occasional weightlifter, her favourite activity is
cheering her children on in various sports.
