When she meets him she is shocked to discover that she can’t hear his thoughts. His name is Bill Compton, and has taken up residence in the Compton house across the graveyard from where Sookie lives with her grandmother. When a vampire comes to live in Bon Temps, Sookie finds herself immediately drawn to him. There plenty of vampires who would have rather remained hidden. There are plenty of humans who think vampires are monsters no matter their claims to peace. People as a whole are still getting used to the idea. The synthetic blood allows them to survive without feeding on humans, and so many vampires have chosen this time to reveal themselves and integrate into human society. Designed as a medical product, its announcement had wider effects than anticipated, when vampires all over the world revealed themselves to be real. Not too long ago, science perfected the production of synthetic blood. Among other things, she has found any semblance of a romantic life is impossible with this ability, since she can hear her date’s hidden thoughts, not great for a first-date kind of situation. This has not been as useful as you might think, and has mostly served to make her a bit of an outcast. She is also a telepath–she can hear people’s thoughts, whether she likes it or not. Sookie Stackhouse is a twenty-five-year-old waitress living in the small town of Bon Temps, Louisiana. Dead Until Dark is a romance/mystery/horror novel published in 2001, the first in the Sookie Stackhouse series of novels by Charlaine Harris, which is the basis of the HBO show True Blood ( I reviewed the 7th and final season here, though keep in mind that will be spoilery if you’re just getting started)
