Sookie Stackhouse works as a waitress in a modest bar in the small town of Bon Temps. A quiet and introverted girl, she tends to isolate herself, only concerning herself with her own affairs.

That is, until someone named Bill Compton appeared—a tall, handsome individual whom Sookie cannot hear a single thought from! He is the person she has been waiting for all her life, but what she didn’t know is that Bill is a notorious vampire!
