Vampires Galore

by anonymous

Vampires are all the rage lately. Twilight is in the news again because the movie comes out November 21. The movie’s basis is in the book of the same name by Stephenie Meyer. It is the tale of a teenage girl named Bella who moves to Washington, meets a vampire plus a few other interesting characters, and has an adventure or two. To get a sense of its popularity, search for twilight on the Internet and see how many hits you get!

Mentions of Twilight are often preceded or followed by descriptions of the new HBO show True Blood. The series is based on The Southern Vampire Mysteries by Charlaine Harris. Sookie Stackhouse, the heroine of the eight novels thus far in the series, is a telepathic barmaid in a small town. Readers learn in the first book, Dead until Dark, that vampires are legally recognized members of society. Sookie experiences a little excitement in her otherwise sheltered life when she meets Bill, a vampire who was alive during the Civil War. (Sookie is happy because it is one mind she isn’t able to read and thus gains a little bit of peace when she is around him.) Around the same time, murders start occurring. It appears as if a vampire is the culprit. As one might imagine, it strains Sookie and Bill’s budding relationship. Definitely a quirky read!
