THE Complete List of Charlaine Harris True Blood Books
If you’re following the True Blood series on HBO you should definitely start reading the Sookie Stackhouose books from Charlaine Harris. The books are part of her Southern Vampire Mystery series and they’re as entertaining as the True Blood television show. Actually, they’re more entertaining in some ways because they give you additional information about the main characters: Sookie, Bill, Sam, and Eric. They’re also pretty darn funny.

Charlaine Harris also contributes stories to fantasy book collections. Many of her stories are about Sookie Stackhouse and some of the other characters from the books above. I really like reading these book collections because you get to learn more about Sookie and her personality. Here’s the complete list of books that have stories about Sookie.
Book Collections That Include Sookie Stackhouse
| Wolfsbane and Mistletoe (2008) | Title of Story: “Gift Wrap”
Description: Sookie, alone and bored during the Christmas holiday, decides to go outside for a bit. Following the sound of a strange noise she ends up finding an injured werewolf named Preston, who tells her a wonderful and remarkable story about how he ended up in his condition. Of course, Sookie can’t help but get involved! I have to say, this entire book is fantastic. |

| Many Bloody Returns (2007) | Title of Story: “Dracula Night”
Description: Sookie Stackhouse gets an invitation from Eric to attend an annual vampires-only birthday party at Fangtasia and almost ends up being the main course. The rules for being included in this book were: 1) the story had to be about a birthday, and 2) it had to include a vampire. Here’s an excerpt: “I had to gape. He looked positively edible. Eric was very tall, very broad, very blond, and tonight he was dressed in a tuxedo that had not come off any rack. This tux had been made for Eric, and he looked as good as any James Bond in it.” |

| Powers of Detection (2006) | Title of Story: “Fairy Dust”
Description: in this story Sookie is asked to help Claudine, from the local fairy clan. Sookie learns that you don’t cross fairies - they’re a thick bunch. And if you do, be prepared to pay the ultimate price. |
 Check price |
| Bite (2004) | Title of Story: “One Word Answer”
Description: this story highlights Sookie’s cleverness when she’s put in a situation requiring her to make quick choices. Sometimes, talking too much can get you killed, especially when vampires are involved. Sookie demonstrates this theory in this short story that includes Bill and Bubba. |

| Unusual Suspects: Stories of Mystery & Fantasy |
Title of Story: “Lucky”
Description: After Sookie’s insurance agents visits her to discuss a recent break-in at his office, she and her housemate Amelia (a practicing witch) decide to investigate the crime and see if they can catch the guilty party. |

Upon reading the 1st seven Sookie Stackhouse books, it became clear to me that the show was not going to be exactly as the books are. The books have some simlarity but for the most part the show is different. Take Tara for instance her charater is very different in the book than it is in the Show. And Jason’s charater is turning out to be just a different as I read more of the books. I will continue watching the show and reading the books. The books are filling in some of the missing peices in the show though.
The book and show are WAY different I have watched the series before reading the books. There is no Jessica so far i nthe books but, I have never read the books so I don’t know she might come in later in the series. Eggs and Tara aren’t getting married in the shows but there engagedin the book. No Mary Ann yet but oh well. The books are still great and I am about to start Club Dead.
I actually read the books before the show start and i loved the books, but now I have no interest in watching the show because they are so very different. In the show jason is invovled in the Anti vampire church and in the books he barely even knows about the group and Tara wasnt “saved” by the lady with the mansion in the books, and she is not engaged to Eggs he is only breifly mentioned in the books (during a football game and at a party, nothing major)But dont get dicouraged keep reading.. i actually just finished re-reading the series so that i can read the new book. (when you re-read you fugure out many clues and hints as to what is going to happen that you may have missed the first time because you just get so invovled that you need to keep reading and dont realize that the hints are in there.)
Um…they were engaged sorta….um yea lol he is metioned again, when Sookie went to the sex party with eric and the maenad came and eggs exploded and Tara’s memory was sorta erased by Eric and after that she had her shop and went back to working and stuff….so yea
Actually, the Monster in “Living Dead in Dallas,” that attacks Sookie and ends up killing a bunch of people at the “orgy” was Maryanne, although the book refers to her as Callisto. She is also called a Maenad, something Daphne calls her in the show.(when she was talking to Sam)
Technically, Mary Ann is in the second installment Living Dead in Dallas. She’s Callisto, the maenad. Her role is much stronger in the show than in the book, though.
i want to know how many true blood books there are i have read all I can find the 9th book and i hate the way it ends I need to know who she ends up with there has to be more someone please help going crazy please email me at onecrazycoonass@aol.com
book 10 comes out on may 27 2010 but she ends up with eric in the book

I am waiting patiently for June 2010 for the new season to start and decided to read the books. I would love a free copy. Single mother of three, with lil money.
If you like to read and are too poor to buy books (like me), check out paperbackswap.com. A free online book swap club. I’ve been using it for a year now. You post your books online, other members post theirs, and if you see something you want, you request a swap. The only expense to you is mailing one of your books to a member who requests it. Usually costs me $2.35 cents via media mail to send a member one of my books. For every book you send to a member, you earn 1 point you can spend on 1 book. Your books are mailed to you for free b/c the sender pays the postage. Membership is free too. No joke. This really works and it really is free. I’ve gotten all the harry potter books for my son this way. Saved me a fortune. Happy Reading!
Tracy, If you give me your email address or username at pbs then I will add you as a referral. Thanks!
OMG, that website sounds great! I’ve never heard of it before but I read a lot and I can’t always find what I need at the used bookstore and the library’s time limit is too constricting for me (even though it usually only takes me from 3 days to a week to read a book). If you send me your info, I will put you as a reference as well. Thanks for the info!
Hey just to give a little help once i started reading the book i just went to my local library checked them out free, it was no problem reading them within a 30 standard
Or the local library. That usually works as well. Only requires a card which is free.
Did you end up gettign the books yet? I know you posted a while back but I just read these comments (I just started reading the series recently) and I am finished with almost all of them. I would send them to you as long as you promised to pay it forward and give or send the books to someone else who deserves them. Let me know.
Richard
Go to your library if your in topeka they have all the books. and they also have most of em on cd.
I would love to win a copy!
I am a huge fan and would love to win a free Charlaine Harris True Blood Book!

Who was the fourth man, we still don’t know. I didn’t for once think it was Bill because then the show would be over.
The 4th man was a fangbanger, the one who hoped Sookie wouldnt recognize him from fantasia.
It was the guy from the morgue. Yes the guy that hoped that Sookie would not recognize him.
Depends on whether book of TV. In the book, it’s a young vampire friend of Bills. And on True Blood, it’s the undertaker’s assistant that Sookie saw at Fangtasia.

My favorite charater would have to be Eric, his charater is mysterious. As I started to read the books. I want to see his personality change and become nicer and I want him and Sookie to get together. Maybe through some good imagination a baby could come out of it who knows.
keep reading….
it would be too much like the twilight series if that was the case.
I think the Twilight series has suspiciously similar qualities to the Sookie Stackhouse series…. and the Stackhouse series was written first (well about 5 of the books anyway). I would like to see Sookie have a baby too. I’ve read the Twilight series and I’m on the 4th book in the Stackhouse series. I haven’t ever watched the show and now I’m wondering because of these posts. When I first saw that Anna Paquin was playing Sookie, it didn’t seem like a good match to me. I also saw a pic for the first time of the guy who plays Eric and he doesn’t look like a tall, masculine Viking to me.
Actually, Eric is quite huge in the show. And pretty hot. He’s basically like the character from the book except he doesn’t have the pretty long hair which is lame but I got over it.
Agreed. At first I thought, hmmn, this is Eric? But I soon warmed up to him and now, I think he’s pretty darn hot!
The one i didn’t like in the show was pam, she’s not what i pictured from the books. but like was said before, i got over it. I like the show and i like the books, each is different but similar. I think the show added some stuff that would have been good in the books and yet the books are good.
Yeah at first I thought Eric in the show wasnt hot enough, but I too warmed up to him. Anna plays a great Sookie, totally believable. I had read the books before the show, most of them anyway. When the show started getting so far away from the books I just decided to just accept them as two stories with similarities. I enjoy the show and books very much! Im going back through the books on audio now even though I have all of them in soft back lol, getting lazy I guess.
Dead to the World is my favorite so far, I cant say why without giving away too much to those who havent got to it yet, but you guys have to read it! I hope there will be more of “ehem” in the future lol. muah to all the sookie fans!

sorry to say this box isn’t complete which makes me weary of buying it.
You should consider getting it. I assume Book 8 wasn’t included in the box set because it’s only available in hard cover. The rest are available in paperback. You definitely can’t beat the price.
Book 8 Wasn’t included because it wasn’t out in paperback in time.
I love sookie and can hardly wait for the next of the true blood books to come out I have read the first 7 I see there is an 8th ( must have that one) and a 9 comming soon. hope you contact me when it is available. Thanks a True Blood nut.
You’re amongst fellow True Blood lovers here. I’m also eagerly awaiting Book 9 which should come out in May 2009.
May 5th to be exact! i can hardley wait… you can read the first chapter of this Book, the 9th book, Dead and Gone at http://www.charlaineharris.com
the site also tells you which books are going to be reissued this year in hardback copies!
I just finished Definetly dead. How is everyone else likeing these books oh my god. If the second season of the show is anything like these books we are in for a good show. I can’t wait. Only a few more weeks until the season starts.
I know, I can’t wait to see who actually died in the last episode of True Blood Season 1. Lafayette? Tara’s mother? Miss Jeanette?
you can pre-order book# 10 - “A Touch of Dead”

I have read 123 then lost track of names and read 5 so soon I will read 4 and then go from there, usually I can read them within a week maybe less if I get drawn to what is going on. I can’t read any faster with a kid, working out and sleep, lol.
Believe me, I can definitely relate!
I can’t wait to read book #9.
there are a lot of names and details to take in but i would def. recommend you reading the rest in order… reading them out of order will only make it more confusing

Rae:
Thanks for the book recommendations. I’ve read books by all of the authors in the list but I’ve not read every book their book series.
I think you’ll really love the Kim Harrison “The Hollows” books. They’re great. As for the Anita Blake books, I was able to get to Book 8 before I stopped. Anita’s character changed too much for me. However, I’m happy to see that the latest book in the series “Skin Trade” brings back the old kick butt Anita I grew to love.
You should also try the Patricia Briggs books in her Mercy Thompson series. They’re oustanding!
do u know when the new book of the true blood series will be published??

You can try the Anita Blake novels by Laurell K Hamilton.

Saw these and they lood so good. I just received 7 of the first ones
you wrote and can’t wait to start reading them.
Thank you
Some of the short stories in my list seem to be in the wrong place. Sorry about that, if you are following the list. I got it off the internet, but trying to reread everything, I see some are not quite right.
best books ever, i am having a birthday soon. hope my books are my presents. i want all of them in hardbacks. i have some of the paperbacks.
can’t get enough. outstanding!!!!!
Thank you for making this list!
the book dead and gone is the last book is the series?? will Charlaine Harris write a 10′th book??
Dead and Gone is the last book that’s been published in the Sookie Stackhouse series BUT Charlaine Harris signed a contract stating that she’ll write 3 more books.
Hurrah!
I have just started the 8th book. (From Dead To Worse) I love the books. I can’t put them down. I look forward to reading the next two books. I already pre-ordered the 10th book. I hope Charlaine keeps writing them.
I also watch the series. I really wish the series would be like the books. Sometimes it is a little cheesy. The books are exciting and leave you guessing what is going to happen next. The series…. not so much. (Though I do love Anna Paquin)
I’m addicted to the True Blood tv series and also really liked the twilight series. I’ve been thinking of buying this book series, is it worth it???
You MUST get the books, they’re fantastic! Trust me, you’ll love them and reading them doesn’t spoil anything in the TV series.
Absoultly! You would be neglecting yourself if you didn’t make the investment.
I love the books and the show True Blood. Even if they are different, they both have good plots. They both are able to keep you at the edge of your seat.
Thanks so much!! im gonna get them then.

i love true blood i can not get enough of it so the books even when they are a little different entertain me as well
Yes, the books are quite a bit different from the TV show. You can read the books and not be concerned about spoilers as far as the show goes!
I absolutely love both the show and the books. They are so addicting and I can’t seem to put the books down! My mom bought me the set of books 1-7 and I’m so glad she did. Now, I have two more to read. I’m glad to see that there are a few more books to read after that. Thumbs up to Charlaine Harris for making my slow days at work more interesting and exciting! Kudos
This domain is for sale http://www.truebloodbooks.com if anyone is interested
So…I have also gotten myself “sucked” into the sookie books…I watched season 1(in one twelve hour straight viewing session) a wk before season 2 was to begin…I couldn’t get enough!! And now that the show is over I started with the books. And truthfully they are different…duh of course…but they are both equally addicting!! similarities, of course… but no tv show or movie could ever really be as detailed as a book! I am just about to start book 7 and I can’t wait!!
Nic:
Thanks so much for leaving a comment about the books. Yes, they’re truly addictive!
Can’t wait for Book 10 in the series.
Also, you might want to check out A Touch of Dead, which is a book of short stories about our gal Sookie!
I didn’t know about either the show or the book before 4 weeks ago (UK 1st season just started) I watched the 1st episode and was hooked I couldn’t wait until the next show aired!! So i trawled the Internet finding both seasons and then again I needed to know what had happened to bill at the end of season 2 and I definitely couldn’t wait till next year! So i decided to get the 1st five books (I’m not a book reader) to start me off with. OMG I can put the things down I have just finished the 5th book and I still want more!!! So far i like that the show is slightly different to the books.Sookie’s dress sense in the book is abit erm……. so i try to picture Sookie in the show I didn’t like the Maryann (maenad) character in the show apart from that I love both. I’m off to buy the rest of the books as I am now getting withdrawals lol
I agree with your statement about withdrawals. Who wants to wait until June? Give us more True Blood!
These books were so great to read. I have already read them all and I am sad that I will have to wait until May 2010 for the next addition. I watched season 1 of True Blood and found it interesting to watch. It was nice to try to see a face to the characters in the book, and I have to say Eric is HOT!! The actress that plays Sookie had to grow on me a little, and so did Bob. I can’t wait to see the faces of some of the other characters that have not yet been introduced to the HBO series (Bubba!!!).
In the mean time I am on the hunt for more book series like the Sookie series, and right now I am reading Laurell K. Hamilton. Good writer, but not the same. Anyone have suggestions. I like to read books that are series, so if you have any suggestions I would love to hear from you!
Thank You So much Charlaine for the GREAT Sookie Stakhouse series. Probably one of the best, most exciting series I have read yet!!
Develyn
Oops! My head got ahead of my typing! I said Bob and meant Bill…. Bob was the cat, and has not yet been introduced to the HBO True Blood series… Sorry
I just recently discovered the True Blood series on HBO thanks to on demand T.V , I was able to whatch season 1 and 2 and I can’t wait for season 3 however I am very disappointed to know I have to wait until 2010 . I just started the 1st book in the series and I can’t put it down, I plan on reading all of the books while I wait for the show to start again , could someone please let me know the order I need to read the books .I know the True Blood books come in series but I also noticed that there are other books w/ Sookie Stackhouse . Could someone please let me know the order I need to read the books? I would truly be thankful…
you can e-mail me@tesha.ross12@gmail.com THANKS NEW TRUE BLOOD FAN!
OMG! most fantastic books ever written. I’m an avide reader and it’s so hard to find something that will keep me reading for 4 hours srtaight without putting the book down. That’s what charlaine Harris has done for me with the series, x-mas is coming up and I’ve asked my family for all the books regarding the lovely Sookie Stackhouse. I like the show to, can’t wait for the new season to start, I do think they chose the way wrong person for Eric, that guy that plays Sawyer on Lost would have been a much better choice. I’m so anxious to see who they get to play Quinn. Those of you haven’t read that far yet, just wait him and Alcide are the greatest. I hope Ms. Harris doesn’t ever stop with the series, I dread the day she decides it’s finished.
I heard a rumor that Vin Diesel might play Quinn. Wouldn’t that be great?
I am a fan of True Blood and decided to read the books while the show was on hiatus. Reading the books has been GREAT! I think they did a great job with the show without taking away from the books. They are pretty different so someone could easily enjoy both as I do!
(totally picture The Rock as Quinn! Especially since I just saw him bald on CNN Heroes! He’d be perfect!)
I like both as well. I watched the first season over and over, and I saw the second season on HBO, and during the hiatus I have pilaged the books as quickly as possible. I like them BOTH for different reasons, but I like them both a lot!!!
have you all seen new moon?i have all the twilight books.in new moon at the end i thru the book across my room because it made me mad.eclipse is the best book out of the twilight saga.in breaking dawn edward and bella have a baby.i love twilight.i am a big fan of twilight
true blood is cool
i LOVE true blood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Does anyone know when the next book will be out??? I just can’t wait, I have read ALL the books and am now bitting at the bit to find out when the next one will be out…
[...] in 2 days. I have 2 more books for read. The Host and Underground. I also want to read the “True Blood Books” and the “The Vampires Diaries Books“, yeah. I love the vampires. I have it in my [...]
I have read all the books. I prefer them over the movie. Movies always fall short of the books. I would just like to know when the next book will be out? Thank You.
The next book comes out in May 2010, the month before True Blood Season 3 begins! Can’ wait!
I was slightly frustrated and uninterested once I saw that the Twilight movies left out important information from the first two books. So when I stumbled across True Blood (more like I got tired of folks talking about it—and I not knowing what the heck they were discussing) I realized that I would prefer to stay away from the books. I am an avid reader, but I don’t want to spoil my taste for the show. Therefore I will have to wait around for the new season in June…I guess…
You might want to read the first book in the series “Dead Until Dark” and see what you think. The TV show is only loosely based on the books so you won’t be ruining anything by reading them. But to be safe, starts with just the first book to see if it affects your opinion of the TV show.
Come back and let us know what you think!

I am obsessed with “TrueBlood” and the Sookie Stackhouse Novels! I can’t deside which I like better. The show has me sitting on the edge of my seat! I can’t wait for the 3rd season!! The books suck me in and I can’t set it down. They’re unpredictable and exciting! I read a lot and out of all the books I have read, “Dead Until Dark” is my favorite book and Charline Harris is my favorite author! I’ve read all 10 books and I think I’ll read them a second time. Will there be an eleventh book? Will there be more Sookie Stackhouse books? I hope there will be me! I want to know what happens after Niall leaves in #9! I want to read more about Sookie!
Absolutely! Charlaine Harris has signed on for 3 more books. I’m also eagerly awaiting the next books.
My BFF is a TrueBlood Addict! She’s on book #10 now! I’m hoping there will be an 11th book, because if there is I would like to get it for her. Will there be more?
Yes, there are definitely more books to come!
I have read 9 of the 10 books they are amazing i am also watching the true blood series they are so diffent! i like both story lines. THE MAJOR DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO IS the books are centered around sookie she is the main character and you only see what she see’s. the show however was made to not be all about sookie all the characters have storys i like the show alot because of the way the writers decided to handle it. if the show was all about sookie then no one would watch because it would just be the books on a screen. they had to make the show stand on its own with out the books and they have done an amazing job at it. I suggest that if you like the show read the books the books will help solves some mysteries in the show but overall they are really different storys.
Of course the books and the tv series are going to be different, some things cannot tranfer over and the series is BASED on the novels.
SO what??? You can enjoy the books for what they are and then you can emjoy the series as well.
Why look for bad when there is none.
When will the other Sookie Stackhouse Novels come out? What are they called?
Alexis:
The next book in the series is called Dead In The Family. It comes out on May 4th. You can pre-order it now though and have it delivered as soon as it comes out!
Sookie Stackhouse books are terrific .cant wait for the last book to come out, I have not seen the series on television but if they are anything like the books they will certainly be entertaining
The Sookie Stackhouse series was definetely enjoyable reading for me just could not put the books down, anxiously awaiting the last book . Harris is a great writer
I agree on both counts!
Charlaine Harris is one of the most creative writers I have ever read…
Ms. Harris has contracted for 13 Sookie Stackhouse books in all, so unless something changes, after May 2010 there will only be 3 books left to look forward to. How sad is that?
Also, if you are thinking that the books are better than the TrueBlood series; I bought the first season of TrueBlood after reading all the available Sookie Stackhouse books, and I am now not only waiting for the newest book to be released, I am also impatiently waiting for the 2nd season of TrueBlood to go on sale. I have the best of both worlds!
JR:
I agree. The good thing about True Blood is that you can watch the TV show AND read the books without feeling as if you know what’s going to happen!
