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. 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.īut that's easier said than done, and all it takes is one delicious blonde and one small mistake for things to turn deadly. 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. Enter the vampires, who graciously suck the poison from her veins (like they didn't enjoy it). Charlaine Harris was born on Novemin Tunica, Mississippi, USA.

Then she comes face-to-face with a beastly creature which gives her a painful and poisonous lashing. First her co-worker is killed, and no one seems to care. Cocktail waitress Sookie Stackhouse is having a streak of bad luck.
