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.

The woman who wrote the comedic vampire books that inspired the HBO series True Blood is author Charlaine Harris. In what will be her only appearance in support of the reissue of her book Living Dead in Dallas, the second Sookie Stackhouse title, she’s set to speak at the Central Branch of the Houston Public Library tomorrow.
The book is named Living Dead in Dallas, so a stop in the Big D would seem a natural, but Harris chose to come to Houston instead and she talked to Hair Balls about why. “My favorite book store in America is in Houston, Murder by the Book on Bissonnet. The owners and staff of MBTB supported me when there was no career to support, starting twenty-plus years ago. So if I sign anywhere for a book, it’ll be in Houston.”
