Sookie Stackhouse

Dead Until Dark Today I will be doing my book chat on Dead Until Dark authored by Charlaine Harris. Dead Until Dark is the first book to The Southern Vampire Mysteries series. As the rest of the series, this book is narrated by Sookie Stackhouse, a fictional character living in a fictional life. Sookie is a 25 year old waitress at Merlotte’s Bar, living with her grandmother Adele and her older brother Jason in a small fictional town in Louisiana, Bon Temps. In this imaginary world, vampires and other supernaturals are a phenomenon. Sookie is not like any other humans. She is telepathic, meaning she has the ability to read everyone’s minds. A normal person like you may think being telepathic, is a blessing. However, for Sookie it became more of a nuisance as she is unable to be around people or have any type of relationships with them because of the weary feeling it brings her. Meeting Bill Compton, a vampire and a Civil War veteran was a miracle to her considering, he is very attractive and more importantly, she cannot read his mind. She was thrilled with this fact and also caused her to be enticed by the alluring vampire. Having Bill present in her life will introduce her to a whole new world where she only read about but not once, experienced. Corny as it may be, this book proves the quote, “Love has no barriers.”…
