True Blood, Season 1, Episode 8

We open where we left off in episode 7, with Sookie staring shocked at the four coffins, blackened by the flames that the surrounding firemen have just quelled.

With perfect timing, HBO introduced its new supernatural thriller series (after the untimely death of Carnivale, HBO looked pretty villainous to the genre fans en masse),…

Vampires in Literature

Its themes of blood, death, and sex made it’s way to Victorian Europe, rattled because of the spread of tuberculosis and syphilis. But the vampire…
