As many True Blood fans may (or may not) know, Living Dead in Dallas is the second volume in the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris. In this book Sookie’s relationship with Bill continues and the two of them are ordered to go to Dallas to investigate the disappearance of a vampire in that city. Sookie’s job is to use her telepathic ability to try to discover who was involved in the vampire’s disappearance.
The series grows increasingly strange as more and more supernatural elements are introduced: more telepaths and shape-shifters, adding werewolves and maenads. But to be perfectly honest, I think that the television show probably becomes much more far-fetched than the book. This is the draw of the Sookie Stackhouse franchise; the campy fantasy is addicting. Wouldn’t we be disappointed if it weren’t a little ridiculous?
