Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris
7 pm Maze Branch
Sooki Stackhouse is thrilled when a real vampire walks into her local bar. Vampires aren't dead people. They are infected by a virus which makes them allergic to sunshine and garlic. They eat only synthetic blood. At least they're supposed to eat only synthetic blood. For Sookie, who isn't exactly normal herself, vampire Bill is the perfect companion. Now adapted as the HBO series True Blood.

Copies of Dead Until Darkwill be available at the Maze Branch a month before the discussion.
