Theres only one vampire Sookie Stackhouse is involved with - at least voluntarily - and thats Bill. But recently hes been a little distant - in another state distant. His sinister and sexy boss Eric has an idea where to find him, and next thing Sookie knows shes off to Jackson, Mississippi, to mingle with the underworld at Club Dead. Its a dangerous little haunt where the elusive vampire society can go to chill out and suck down some Type O - but when Sookie finally finds Bill caught in an act of serious betrayal shes not sure whether to save him, or to sharpen some stakes. 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.
