A mixture of both fantasy and mystery, Dead Until Dark is the first title in the Sookie Stackhouse series.
Sookie, a mid-twenties barmaid from Bon Temps, Louisiana, resides with her grandmother and rarely dates because her telepathic abilities simply complicate any opportunity to have a reasonably normal relationship with a member of the opposite sex.
A lone vampire named Bill (internationally and nationally, vampires have just been allowed to "come out of the closet") wafts into Merlotte's bar one evening (Sookie's place of employment) and to Sookie's amazement, she's unable to read Bill's thoughts and he is unable to glamour her as well. A romance begins.
When the bodies of young women who are labeled as "fang bangers" begin piling up, Sookie's brother Jason is suspected of murder and Sookie's ability to read minds both hinders and aids in solving the crimes.
