the recent
Vampire craze danced around Charlaine Harris' "
Southern Vampire Mysteries" series, which i am currently still reading. the novels are now adapted into a HBO series named "
True Blood". the plot's background was having humans n vampires coexisted in a small town, n its story evolved around a waitress (Sookie Stackhouse) n the vampires.
personally, i prefer its novels over the series. the novels, in a way, are much more elegantly mysterious n beautifully written. where else the series partially ruined the perfectness for me. i was disappointed watching the first few episodes of season 1, it wasn't even enough to be compared to buffy (1997). for vampire lovers, i recommend the novels. warning, a real page turner!
