NEED TO KNOW | A chat with Charlaine Harris, author behind "True Blood" | PBS

what a lovely, humble woman. she really has that air about her that makes you believe in everything she's saying.

[Dank951]

The best Vampire literature authors are Bram Stocker, James Malcom Rymer, Anne Rice, and Charlaine Harris. Stephenie Meyer is an abomination...

[lladic2]

Harris beats Meyer

but Shakespeare still beats all of writters. :S

ms. harris is lovely and I respect her craft as a writer. great interview!

I read the first book before watching the series. I think it's better that way. I love both the tv show and the books on separate levels. They are quite different plot wise but as Charlaine put it, the tv show stays true to the spirit of the books.

There are a couple of confusing terms if you're not familiar with the South. Cher, is one of them.
