For those of us who prefer our vampires less sparkly, Charlaine Harris has been the ultimate vampire novel writer. Her Southern Vampire Mysteries series (better known as the Sookie Stackhouse novels) has captivated readers worldwide and spawned a TV series that has earned critical aclaim. So it is with sadness that we note that the Southern Vampire Mysteries series will soon be coming to an end. Charlaine Harris has announced that the 13th novel in the series will indeed be the last.
“I don’t have anything left to tell. After the last book, I’ll have said everything I have to say about Sookie,” Harris said last week. “Really, I think it would be doing readers a disservice to continue writing a character when my heart wasn’t in it. I’ve loved writing Sookie, but if you see the end of the road, you see the end of the road.” – Charlaine Harris
