Get to Know True Blood, HBO's New Vampire TV Show

Monday August 18, 2008

Before Twilight hits theaters on November 21 (moved up from the original December 12 date), another series of vampire books hits the small screen. True Blood is based on the Southern Vampire Mysteries books by Charlaine Harris and is being brought to HBO by Alan Ball, creator of the acclaimed Six Feet Under. I haven't read the books, but judging from the series of faux websites that HBO created for the show -- including a human-vampire dating service -- it looks like it has a wry sense of humor. Tune in to see on September 7 at 9:00 PM ET/PT.

The Sookie Stackhouse stories are great! I was thrilled when I heard one of my soon to be favorite writers was going to be taken to the small screen, but a bit cresfallen when I heard it was the Southern Vampire Mysters and now Queen Betsey. Shes the character written by MaryJanice Davidson and is just as delightfully fun and exciting to read.
