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.

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.
