sookie stackhouse novels

According to TheCoast.Ca Vampires have made it to be People of the Year for 2008. It’s no wonder with the release of ‘Twilight’, HBO’s series ‘True Blood’, and the US DVD release of the Swedish film ‘Let the Right One In’.

This year we discovered that vampires make perfect boyfriends, which totally makes sense; zombies are boring conversationalists and werewolves have hairy backs. In the HBO hit series True Blood, Southern vamp-gent Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer) risks becoming shrivelled like a sun-baked worm in order to save his love, mind-reading waitress Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin). Sensitive, brooding teen bloodsucker Edward (Robert Pattinson) wouldn’t dare cop a feel or bite his girlfriend Bella (Kristen Stewart), in the teen phenom flick, Twilight. No surprise that both these stories are based on novels by women involved in their churches (Charlaine Harris and Stephenie Meyer respectively), although Harris—a senior warden at her Episcopalian congregation—has no problem with vampy love: True Blood has more hot sex scenes with cold-blooded creatures than late-night Showcase programming. Expect vampires to dominate in 2009, with season two of True Blood and a Twilight sequel already planned, plus the North American DVD release of the exquisite Swedish film, Let the Right One In, about a young bullied boy who befriends a vampire child. 

 

 

Anna Camp, who is currently starring opposite Daniel Radcliffe in the acclaimed Broadway revival of Equus, has landed a series-regular role on the second season of HBO’s “True Blood.”

Entertainment Weekly reports that Camp will play the role of Sarah. The new season of the Alan Ball HBO drama will also welcome the arrival of Ashley Jones; the “Bold and the Beautiful” star will play a six-episode arc as a waitress named Daphne.
