True Blood Author Charlaine Harris on the Current Vampire Epidemic

Dead in the Family is the latest bestselling vampire fantasy novel from Charlaine Harris, and the 10th book in the series that inspired the hit HBO show True Blood (now in its third season), starring Anna Pacquin as telepathic barmaid Sookie Stackhouse.
In the books, Sookie is a blonde and buxom resident of the Louisiana town of Bon Temps, where she spends less time fighting vampires than getting busy with them.

In the mix are sundry tigers, werewolves, dogs, witches, house cats, maenads, goblins and fairies.
