Haas anyone been tempted to try any of the Sookie Stackhouse books because of this show?

been tempted but haven't tried them yet. Southern Gothic was my favorite genre back in college and this series appears to have some of the strangeness from the genre classics with a little straight up horror thrown in for good measure.

my wife is reading the "Twilight" vampire books - movie coming soon - but I don't think that series could possibly highlight the charater flaws we see in a good ol' southern yarn.

I like the different powers and DISabilities vampires in this universe have or dont have.

1. They CAN see themselves in mirrors.

2. Only a select few can shape shift and then usually into only one beast.

3. They are fast and strong but CAN'T fly as a rule.

4. They can 'glam" or mesmorize their victims.

5. "V" or vampire blood when ingested by the unbitten or well is the ultimate mind expanding drug.

6. Silver can harm, bind and kill vamps.

7. Wooden stake to the heart see above.

8. They can sense those who've harmed or killed other vampires.

9. They've a strict hirearchy based on age and power.

10. There ARE penalties for vamps killing their own.

Anything I missed?
