DEAD UNTIL DARK

Sink your teeth into the first novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling Sookie Stackhouse series&mdash,the books that gave life to the Dead and inspired the HBO®, original series True Blood. Sookie Stackhouse is just a small-time cocktail waitress in small-town Bon Temps, Louisiana. She's quiet, doesn't get out much, and tends to mind her own business&mdash,except when it comes to her &ldquo,disability.&rdquo, Sookie can read minds. And that doesn&rsquo,t make her too dateable. Then along comes Bill Compton. He&rsquo,s tall, dark, handsome&mdash,and Sookie can&rsquo,t hear a word he&rsquo,s thinking. He&rsquo,s exactly the type of guy she&rsquo,s been waiting for all her life... But Bill has a disability of his own: he&rsquo,s a vampire with a bad reputation. And when a string of murders hits Bon Temps&mdash,along with a gang of truly nasty bloodsuckers looking for Bill&mdash,Sookie starts to wonder if having a vampire for a boyfriend is such a bright idea.
