Praise for #1 New York Times bestselling author Charlaine
Harris’s Sookie Stackhouse novels
“It’s the kind of book you look forward to reading before you go to
bed, thinking you’re only going to read one chapter, and then you
end up reading seven.”—Alan Ball, executive producer of True
Blood
“Vivid, subtle, and funny in her portrayal of southern
life.”—Entertainment Weekly
“Charlaine Harris has vividly imagined telepathic barmaid Sookie
Stackhouse and her small-town Louisiana milieu, where humans,
vampires, shapeshifters, and other sentient critters live...Her
mash-up of genres is delightful, taking elements from mysteries,
horror stories, and romances.”—Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
“The series continues to be inventive and funny with an engaging,
smart, and sexy heroine.”—The Denver Post
“Blending action, romance, and comedy, Harris has created a fully
functioning world so very close to our own, except, of course, for
the vamps and other supernatural creatures.”—The Toronto Star
In bestseller Harris's perky sixth Southern Vampire novel to star Sookie Stackhouse (after 2005's Dead as a Doornail), the telepathic waitress of Bon Temps, La., is off to (pre-hurricane) New Orleans to close out her dead cousin Hadley's apartment. Hadley's death six weeks earlier had been unexpected, since, as a vampire, she was already dead. Still, she'd led a lively existence as the main squeeze of the Queen of Louisiana, an omnisexual vampire, whose political marriage to the King of Arkansas occurred the night before Hadley's demise. Sookie and Amelia Broadway, Hadley's landlady and a pretty cool witch, immediately discover a mess of trouble left behind in Hadley's closet, and Sookie's soon neck-deep in even more. Though most of the intrigue doesn't come till halfway through, Harris keeps the action going nonstop in this bubbly brew of supernatural spice and whimsical whodunit that's more fun than a barrel of beignets. Alan Ball, the creator of HBO's Six Feet Under, plans to shoot a TV pilot based on the series later this year. 12-city author tour. (May) Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
