Sookie Stackhouse is a small-time cocktail waitress in small-town Louisiana. She's quiet, keeps to herself, and doesn't get out much. 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...
