1.
Dead and Gone
Now it's the turn of the weres and shifters to
follow the lead of the undead and reveal their
existence to the ordinary world. Sookie
Stackhouse already knows about them, of course
- her brother turns into a panther at the full
moon, she's friend to the local Were pack and
Sam, her boss at Merlotte's bar, is a shifter.
At first the great Were revelation seems to go
well - then the horribly mutilated body of a
were-panther is found outside Merlotte's.
Though Sookie never cared that much for the
victim, no one deserves such a horrible death,
so she agrees to use her telepathic talent to
track down the murderer. But what Sookie
doesn't realise is that there is a far greater
danger than this killer threatening Bon Temps:
a race of unhuman beings, older, more powerful
and far more secretive than the vampires or
the werewolves is preparing for war . . .
2. Dead to the
World
Sookie comes to the rescue of a naked,
amnesiac vampire - and ends up in the middle
of a war between witches, werewolves and
vampires! Sookie Stackhouse is a small-town
cocktail waitress in small-town Louisiana.
She's pretty. She does her job well. She keeps
to herself - she has only a few close friends,
because not everyone appreciates Sookie's
gift: she can read minds. That's not exactly
every man's idea of date bait - unless they're
undead - vampires and the like can be tough to
read. And that's just the kind of guy Sookie's
been looking for. Maybe that's why, when she
comes across a naked vampire on the way home
from work, she doesn't just drive on by. He
hasn't got a clue who he is, but Sookie has:
Eric looks just as scary and sexy - and dead -
as the day she met him. But now he has
amnesia, he's sweet, vulnerable, and in need
of Sookie's help - because whoever took his
memory now wants his life. Sookie's
investigation into what's going on leads her
straight into a dangerous battle between
witches, vampires and werewolves. But there
could be even greater danger - to Sookie's
heart, because the kinder, gentler Eric is
very hard to resist. 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.
3. Dead as a
Doornail
Sookie's got just a month, before the next
full moon, to find out who wants her brother
dead - and to stop the fiend! Sookie
Stackhouse enjoys her life, mostly. She's a
great cocktail waitress in a fun bar; she has
a love life, albeit a bit complicated, and
most people have come to terms with her
telepathy. The problem is, Sookie wants a
quiet life - but things just seem to happen to
her and her friends. Now her brother Jason's
eyes are starting to change: he's about to
turn into a were-panther for the first time.
She can deal with that, but her normal
sisterly concern turns to cold fear when a
sniper sets his deadly sights on the local
changeling population. She afraid not just
because Jason's at risk, but because his new
were-brethren suspect Jason may be the
shooter. Sookie has until the next full moon
to find out who's behind the attacks - unless
the killer decides to find her first. 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.
4. All Together
Dead
Sookie's beginning to get used to being
surrounded by all varieties of undead,
changeling, shapeshifting and other
supernatural beings - but even she has her
limits. She'd really like to take a while to
get over being betrayed by Bill, her long-time
vampire lover, and get used to her new
relationship with the sexy shapeshifter Quinn
- but instead, she finds herself attending the
long-planned vampire summit, the destination
of choice for every undead power player
around, as a sort-of human 'Geiger counter'
for Sophie-Anne Leclerq, vampire queen of
Louisiana. But the job is fraught with
difficulties. Sophie-Anne's power base has
been severely weakened by Hurricane Katrina,
and she's about to be put on trial during the
event for murdering her king. Sookie knows the
queen is innocent, but she's hardly prepared
for other shocking murders: it looks like
there are some vamps who would like to finish
what nature started. With secret alliances and
backroom deals the order of the day - and
night - Sookie must decide which side she'll
stand with, and quickly, for her choice may
mean the difference between survival and
all-out catastrophe.
5. Club Dead
There's only one vampire Sookie Stackhouse is
involved with - at least voluntarily - and
that's Bill. But recently he's 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 she's
off to Jackson, Mississippi, to mingle with
the underworld at Club Dead. It's 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 she's 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.
6. Definitely
Dead
Sookie doesn't have that many relations, so
she hated to lose one - but of all the people
to go, she didn't expect it to be her cousin
Hadley, a consort of New Orleans' vampire
queen - after all, Hadley was technically
already dead. But she is gone, beyond recall,
and she's left Sookie an inheritance - one
that comes with a bit of a risk - not least
because someone doesn't want Sookie digging
too deep into Hadley's past - or her
possessions. Sookie's life is once again on
the line, and this time the suspects range
from the rogue werewolves who have rejected
Sookie as a friend of the pack to her first
love, the vampire Bill. Sookie's got a lot to
do if she's going to keep herself alive . . .
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.
7. Dead Until
Dark
Sookie Stackhouse is a small-time cocktail
waitress in small-town Louisiana. She's quiet,
keeps to herself, and doesn't get out much -
not because she's not pretty - she's a very
cute bubbly blonde - or not interested in a
social life. She really is . . . but Sookie's
got a bit of a disability. She can read minds.
And that doesn't make her too dateable. And
then along comes Bill: he's tall, he's dark
and he's handsome - and Sookie can't 'hear' a
word he's thinking. He's exactly the type of
guy she's been waiting all her life for. But
Bill has a disability of his own: he's fussy
about his food, he doesn't like suntans and
he's never around during the day . . . Yep,
Bill's a vampire. Worse than that, he hangs
with a seriously creepy crowd, with a
reputation for trouble - of the murderous
kind. And then one of Sookie's colleagues at
the bar is killed, and it's beginning to look
like Sookie might be the next victim . . .
8. From Dead to
Worse
The supernatural community in Bon Temps,
Louisiana is reeling from two hard blows: the
natural disaster of Hurricane Katrina, and the
manmade horror of the explosion at the vampire
summit in the up-north city of Rhodes. Sookie
Stackhouse is safe but dazed, and she's
yearning for things to get back to normal. But
that's just not happening. Too many vampires -
some friends, some not - were killed or
injured, and her were-tiger boyfriend Quinn is
among the missing. It's clear that things are
changing, whether the weres and vamps like it
or not. And Sookie, Friend to the Pack,
blood-bonded to the leader of the local
vampire community, is caught up in those
changes. She's about to find herself facing
danger and death and, not for the first time,
betrayal by someone she loves. And when the
fur has finished flying and the cold blood has
stopped flowing, Sookie's world will be
forever altered . . .
9. Living Dead
in Dallas
Cocktail waitress Sookie Stackhouse is having
a streak of bad luck. First her co-worker is
killed, and no one seems to care. Then she
comes face-to-face with a beastly creature
which gives her a painful and poisonous
lashing. Enter the vampires, who graciously
suck the poison from her veins (like they
didn't enjoy it). The point is: they saved her
life. So when one of the bloodsuckers asks for
a favour, she obliges - and soon Sookie's in
Dallas, using her telepathic skills to search
for a missing vampire. She's supposed to
interview certain humans involved, but she
makes one condition: the vampires must promise
to behave, and let the humans go unharmed. But
that's easier said than done, and all it takes
is one delicious blonde and one small mistake
for things to turn deadly . . . 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.
