So I started rewatching "True Blood" a few weeks ago and naturally decided I needed to reread the books. Book one: "Dead Until Dark". It's pretty funny. We meet Sookie, a telepathic waitress from Bon Temps, Louisiana. Sookie is somewhat of a social pariah in her town because of her telepathy--even though most people don't know about it, they know she's odd and keep their distance from her. Dating has been hard for Sookie, since she knows what disgusting things the men are thinking. That is, until she meets her first vampire: Bill Compton. With the invention of synthetic blood, vampires have made themselves known to humans and some, like Bill, are trying to mainstream and live among them, surviving on TruBlood. Sookie is thrilled when she discovers she can't read Bill's mind and the two start dating. Meanwhile, women who like to consort with vampires (known as "fangbangers") are turning up dead, covered in bite marks. Bill is a suspect, but so is Sookie's older brother, Jason, who slept with all the dead women. It was fun, even if it didn't have enough of Eric. But then again, neither did the show. Alexander Skarsgard is a treasure.
