From Barnes & NobleSookie Stackhouse is indisputably the most famous telepathic waitress in history. Since she first emerged in 2001, the Bon Temps sleuth has captivated us in twelve Southern Vampire Mysteries, more than a dozen short stories and novellas, and five HBO True Blood seasons. It should not surprise us then that we still want to know more about our paranormal protagonist. The Sookie Stackhouse Companion fills that need in unexpected ways: In addition to its detailed map of Sookie's Louisiana haunts; a vigorous shaking of the Stackhouse family tree; recipes; trivia questions; and a supernatural who's who, this 480-page omnibus includes interviews with Charlaine Harris and True Blood creator Alan Ball—and, not least, a previous unpublished Southern Vampire mystery novella.
