Hamilton's Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter series, from <I>The X-Files</I> to <I>Buffy the Vampire Slayer</I>, creators are mixing old European myths and legends with modern American pop culture. Incorporating influences ranging from blaxploitation movies and erotic novels to tabloid staples like UFOs and Elvis, authors and directors are creating a new mythology for the strip-mall, tract-house, cell-phone America of the new millennium. One of the best-known and best writers of the new American mythology is Charlaine Harris. <I>Dead to the World</I> is the fourth novel in her Anthony Award-winning Southern Vampire series. It continues the story of psychic waitress Sookie Stackhouse, who has fallen out with her undead lover, Bill. Bill has no sooner departed for Peru, than Sookie finds the head vampire, Eric, running naked and terrified through the rural night. She helps Eric, and discovers his memory has been destroyed by a coven of unscrupulous, astonishingly powerful witches, newly arrived in her small Louisiana town, and offering a huge reward for Eric. Sookie tries to hide Eric, but her brother sees him--and immediately disappears. And Sookie finds herself caught in a war among witches, vampires, and werewolves. <I>--Cynthia Ward</I> 1808005 book 2004 Dead to the World (Sookie Stackhouse, #4) total:17405|5:6637|4:7186|3:3175|2:352|1:55| 17405 72213 22985 1265 140077 0441012183 9780441012183 16943 1180 4.15 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255593750m/140077.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/140077.Dead_to_the_World 4 19 false Fri Dec 19 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 01 14:50:30 -0800 2008 Fri Dec 19 08:09:17 -0800 2008 and he has amnesia.
