Thanks!
Is there going to be anymore books in the sookie stackhouse series, the last book i got is dead reckoning. and if so when will the next one be released? Ive got tons of series going and i dont want to miss the books when they come out. thanks Crystal
Yes Crystal there is a new one coming out in May called Deadlocked. Check our latest blog for a look at the cover.
I have read on CH website that she will be releasing another book of The Sookie Stackhouse Collection in May 2012. I am patiently waiting!!!
check out our latest blog Michelle for a look at the new cover!
I’m not sure where to look for the blog
Sure you do Michelle – you are there now – you just didn’t realize it. I was just letting you know it was coming up soon on this site. Sorry if I was unclear.
I am a big fan of the TV series True Blood; just recently heard about these books; ordered the first book in the series; I hope I am going to enjoy them as much as the show. Does anyone have any comments as to if it compares to the show?
They are a million times better
Yes, they are worth the read. More details and way better than the show.
Just to let you know, they are completely different. I read the series first and then tried to watch the show and couldn’t do it. I hope you don’t have that problem with reversing the process. The tv series is just loosely based on the books. There are so so so many differences, it may be hard for you to adjust to the books way of things. The books are spectacular and worth the read, you just have to be prepared that they are essentially two different series. I hope you enjoy the books!
Julie- You have said it so clearly – yes the books and the tv show are two different takes on the story. Allan Ball has always said he would combine things from books and add new characters as he felt he needed them. It is always this way when you take a book and turn it into a show or movie. Books have lots of internal dialogue – film and tv can’t do that.
The TV show is much “darker,” with seriously scary stuff going on. In the books, all that happens has a much lighter tone. It’s presented from Sookie’s point of view and she puts a fun spin on all that happens to her. The writing is intelligent, funny, the pictures she puts in your head are believable and you wish you could be Sookie!
Jean
Yes – thanks for pointing that out. Their is definitely a darker tone to the TV show. I guess that is why I love the books so much.
just finished the 11th book, they were all fantastic
can’t wait for the next one…
I agree with Shaune, Monica and Kirsten that the books are just so much better. You can’t help it – there is more in a book than you can put in a TV show. If you love the show, check out the books! And a new one is on its way soon!
Does anyone know where I can purchase Dead Reckoning for my Kindle? Amazon’s is expensive, and it costs almost the same as the book.
I got hooked on the series when I ordered the free one on my NOOK. That was a great way to find out about the series. I am now a dedicated fan.

You got the first one free on your Nook? Man, talk about ‘ hey little girl the first one is free’ ! But ya, that is a great way to introduce the series to a new reader. After all, look at you, a big dedicated fan now! Thanks for the comment -
I bought the box set 2 weeks ago, as u wanted to have my True Blood fix waiting for season 5. I have now finished all the 10 in the box set, borrowed dead in the family from the library yesterday and finished that. Am now waiting forum next one to arrive. Am addicted. Best read, and still working full time (very hard to put down, even in the wee hours of the morning).
Oh No! Andrea has got it bad! But I know what you mean, I have caught myself up reading my TB fix at some crazy hour even if I had to get up the next morning – sometimes you just gotta know! Thanks Andrea for sharing that with us
