Thanks to a Japanese scientist's invention of synthetic blood, vampires have progressed from legendary monsters to fellow citizens overnight. And while humans have been safely removed from the menu, many remain apprehensive about these creatures "coming out of the coffin." Religious leaders and government officials around the world have chosen their sides, but in the small Louisiana town of Bon Temps, the jury is still out.
Local waitress Sookie Stackhouse, however, knows how it feels to be an outcast. "Cursed" with the ability to listen in on people's thoughts, she's also open-minded about the integration of vampires — particularly when it comes to Bill Compton, a handsome 173-year-old living up the road. But as Sookie is drawn into a series of mysteries surrounding Bill's arrival in Bon Temps, that tolerance will be put to the test.
Killings started in Bon Temps about a year ago, just about the same time of Bill's arrival and they were all women. What did these women have in common? They all had been with vampires. Sookie was on the list to die but she made it and caught the killer. Now another murder took place. Layfayette Reynold, found in the back of Andy Bellefleur's car. Now Sookie and the rest of Bon Temps is caught in another murder. Will they found out who the murderer is before another person is killed, or will it be too late?
Can you live off of TRUEBLOOD?
