A little more than ten years ago, Sookie Stackhouse first appeared as the narrator and protagonist of a Charlaine Harris book called Dead Until Dark. After pretty solid sales, she returned a year later in Living Dead In Dallas. Then another book followed and then another until a new yearly entry in her Southern Vampire Mysteries was an expected, regular and high-selling guarantee. In the fall of 2008, writer/ producer Alan Ball adapted the series into the HBO phenomenon True Blood, and since, the Charlaine Harris novels have exploded in popularity. In theory, they could have gone on forever, but the author announced a definitive end date earlier this week.
Speaking to Popcorn Biz, Harris said she's committed to writing a thirteenth book but has already made plans to give Sookie and her vampiric friends definitive closure. Whether that means she'll be killed off or an apocalyptic showdown between humans and the undead will occur is all speculation at this point, but don't expect her to change her mind. Charlaine Harris was very clear on that in the interview.

Alcide made his return to True Blood on Sunday, disappointing fans for two reasons:
- He was wearing a shirt.
- He was back with Debbie.

Go Ask Dallas- True Blood Trivia: Halloween comes to True Blood do we have Halloween in the Sookie books?
Q Does this holiday happen in the Sookie books ?
A I am sooooo glad you asked - this lets me go on and on
From Club Dead: Of course, vampires don't observe holidays, except for Halloween. It's the ancient festival of Samhain dressed up in trappings that the vamps find delightful. So Halloween's a great favorite, and it's celebrated worldwide in the vamp community.)
From Dead to Worse : “Did you get an invitation for the Fangtasia Halloween party this year?” he asked.“No. After the last party they invited me to, they might not want me to come back,” I said. “Besides, with all the recent losses, I don’t know if Eric’ll feel like celebrating.”
“You think we ought to have a Halloween party at Merlotte’s?” he asked. “Maybe not with candy and stuff like that,” I said, thinking hard. “Maybe a goodie bag for each customer, with dry roasted peanuts? Or a bowl of orange popcorn on each table? And some decorations?” Sam looked in the direction of the bar as if he could see through the walls. “That sounds good. Make a thing of it.” Ordinarily we only decorated for
Christmas, and that only after Thanksgiving, at Sam’s insistence.
...we put out the Halloween decorations. Sam had gotten a little pumpkin for each table and painted a face on each one. I was filled with admiration, because the faces were really clever, and some of them looked like bar patrons. In fact, one looked a lot like my dear brother....
“I had no idea you could do this,” I said, and he looked pleased. “It was fun,” he said, and hung a long strand of fall leaves— of course, they were actually made of cloth—around the bar mirror and among some of the bottles. I tacked up a life-size cardboard skeleton with little rivets at the joints so it could be positioned. I arranged this one so it was clearly dancing. We couldn’t have any depressing skeletons at the bar.
This lets me talk about one of my favorite Secret Sookie Short Story "Dracula night " from the anthology "Many bloody returns " this is the story that Sookie is referencing when she says she didn't get an invitation to the Fangtasia party. You can buy it here for $2 !!!

'True Blood': Alan Ball and Charlaine Harris discuss Sunday's shocking death of [SPOILER]
Entertainment Weekly’s EW.com has spoken exclusively to True Blood executive producer Alan Ball and author Charlaine Harris about the death of Claudine in this past Sunday’s episode. Many fans of Harris’ original novels were surprised by the death scene, which doesn’t occur until much later in the book series. But there’s more left to see in Sookie’s fairy world: "After everything that was going on with the fairies in the first episode, I think we wanted to sort of put a pin in that, but obviously it’s not over," says Ball. "I felt it would have more impact if it was someone we knew as opposed to just a random fairy."
And Harris is okay with the change. "If [Ball] can be gracious to me, I can certainly be gracious enough to wait and see where he’s going."

Charlaine Harris, the author of the Sookie Stackhouse novels, is about to squeeze the last drop of “True Blood” - but she's not about to slink quietly into the shadows.
Charlaine Harris, the author of the Sookie Stackhouse novels, is about to squeeze the last drop of “True Blood” - but she's not about to slink quietly into the shadows.
“On the page, I have two more [Sookie] books,” Harris tells PopcornBiz of her plans to conclude the vampire saga that served as the source material for the hot HBO series. “I'm writing Book Twelve and then there will be Book Thirteen. And then I'll think of something else new and wonderful to do."
And while fans of fang-banging in Bon Temps won’t want to hear it, the novelist expects to bring the entire franchise to a definitive end. “I think it'll be total closure,” she says. “I don't go back to things once I've finished them. That's kind of what I do. I don't want to write Sookie after I get stale. Yeah, I'll miss them, I'm sure, because I have lived with them for quite a long time - 12 years now. And it did take two years to sell the first book. But I think writers like to do different things. At least this writer does.”

Alexander Skarsgard Shows Off A 'New Side' On 'True Blood'
'It's a very different Eric from what we're used to,' Skarsgård tells MTV News of his complicated vampire.
After three seasons of ups and downs, crazy characters, deaths and drama, fans of HBO's Southern vampire soap "True Blood" are used to the series' many plot twists and turns. The fourth season is no different, as the story line of favorite cocky, no-nonsense Louisiana vampire sheriff Eric Northman has changed dramatically, thanks to a coven of witches causing him to lose his memory and, from the looks of things, his entire sense of self along with it.

Exclusive: The Men of True Blood Revealed!
Love the photo !
In case you haven't noticed, the men of True Blood don't mind taking off their clothes. During wardrobe changes for this cover shoot at the Good Luck Bar in Los Angeles, they casually stripped down to their skivvies in a supersize RV, parked curbside, that doubled as a dressing room. One visitor wasn't exactly sure how to keep from staring. As executive producer Alan Ball puts it, "They're all insanely beautiful."
But it's not just those hot bodies that draw more than five million fans to HBO's unholy trinity of hunkdom each week. Their characters have a lot going on under the skin, too, and in Season 4, they're grappling with some major emotional shake-ups.

Ass-kicking, Rape & Fairy Godmother Murder from Jezebel
We Sookie Bookies know well about " rape" controversies
I'm not surprised this has surfaced, I will say I'm a little relieved most folks think the the " young" women seen in the back are not waiting their turn with Jason they are just all dressed up to observe. I sure hope everyone is right ...
But the scene in which Jason got raped by Crystal is probably the most controversial. The residents of Hotshot told a creepy legend about Ghost Daddy and how werepanthers came to be, and Crystal informed Jason — who's been tied up and gnawed on for a day or so — that his purpose in life is to help these panther people, by being the new Ghost Daddy. In other words, they want him to turn into a werepanther and spawn some "cubs." To accomplish her mission, Crystal force-fed Jason "Mexican Viagra" and raped him while her cousinsisters looked on.
