Charlaine Harris - Book Reading and Signing May 11, 2010

When Charlaine Harris began to realize that neither of her other series were ever going to set the literary world on fire, she regrouped and decided to write the book she’d always wanted to write. Not a traditional mystery, nor yet pure science fiction or romance, DEAD UNTIL DARK broke genre boundaries to appeal to a wide audience of people who just enjoy a good adventure. Each subsequent book about Sookie Stackhouse, telepathic Louisiana barmaid and friend to vampires, werewolves, and various other odd creatures, has drawn more readers. So popular is this series, that is spawned the popular television show, True Blood.
