Quicklet on True Blood, Season One

ABOUT THE BOOK

True Blood is an HBO television series created by Alan Ball and based on Charlaine Harris Southern Vampire Mysteries. It is based in the fictional town of Bon Temps, Louisiana, and is just one in a long line of shows that fuel todays craze for all things bloodthirsty on TV. Though a bit gorier and perverse than other shows of its kind, the series works wonderfully for television: fans somehow seem to connect with monsters, shapeshifters and mind readers, relishing the abnormality. The show does a wonderful job of pulling together a unique combination of fantasy, mystery, tragedy, humor, and erotica to become a genre all its own.

The first season of True Blood premiered September 7, 2008. Twelve episodes aired, based mostly on the first of Harris books, Dead Until Dark.
