This new edition is available as an E-BOOK ONLY and contains three

The first look at the philosophical issues behind Charlaine Harris's
New York Times bestsellers The Southern Vampire
Mysteries and the True Blood television series!
Teeming with complex, mythical characters in the shape of vampires,
telepaths, shapeshifters, and the like, True Blood, the popular
HBO series adapted from Charlaine Harris's bestselling The Southern
Vampire Mysteries, has a rich collection of themes to explore, from
sex and romance to bigotry and violence to death and immortality. The
goings-on in the mythical town of Bon Temps, Louisiana, where vampires
satiate their blood lust and openly commingle with ordinary humans,
present no shortages of juicy metaphysical morsels to sink your teeth into.
Now True Blood and Philosophy calls on the minds of some of
history's great thinkers to perform some philosophical bloodletting on
such topics as Sookie and the metaphysics of mindreading; Maryann and
sacrificial religion; werewolves, shapeshifters and personal identity;
vampire politics, evil, desire, and much more.
- The first book to explore the philosophical issues and themes
behind the True Blood novels and television series
- Adds a new dimension to your understanding of True Blood
characters and themes
- The perfect companion to the start of the third season on HBO
and the release of the second season on DVD
Smart and entertaining, True Blood and Philosophy provides
food -- or blood -- for thought, and a fun, new way to look at the
series.
