An exclusive SFBC Sliver of Night book. The first three Sookie Stackhouse novels - with a new introduction by the author! DEAD UNTIL DARK Sookie Stackhouse is a cocktail waitress in Bon Temps, Louisiana. You can tell she doesn't get out much, and it's not because she isn't pretty. She is. It's just that, well, Sookie has this "disability:" she can read minds. And that doesn't make her too dateable. Then along comes Bill. He's tall, dark, handsome -- and Sookie can't hear a word he's thinking. Just the guy she's been waiting for all her life. But Bill has a disability of his own: he's a vampire with a seriously creepy crowd of friends. So when one of her coworkers is killed, Sookie fears she's next . . . LIVING DEAD IN DALLAS Sookie is on a streak of bad luck.
