With Sookie as her mouthpiece, Charlaine Harris opened up the floor for the discussion of genre fiction in this latest installment of the Sookie Stackhouse series, because it turns out our sweet little friend Sookie proudly claims a self-education through none other than two of the least respected forms of the genre novel: romance novels and trashy mysteries.

The snob in me wants to snort in disdain and feel offended for liking Sookie. But the other half, the half that isn’t afraid to admit that...more

CLUB DEAD is the third instalment from the Sookie Stackhouse series and I really enjoyed this one, having finally come to terms with the fact that this is urban fantasy and not paranormal romance. I was able to focus on the action, horror, humour and mystery aspects here and just let the romance take a back seat. Sookie is also starting to feel like a delightful, adventurous friend who I can’t wait to hear from to learn what adventures she’s been up to lately. And with the broadening of sub characters and reappearances and “sightings” from others this series is beginning to feel like coming home.

Charlaine Harris continues to entertain with a fast paced, easy writing style and original ideas. She also manages to still keep Sookie relatable enough, despite her progression into the supernatural world that we can discover every bizarre occurrence right along with her. Sookie toughens up in this book, makes some new ‘friends’ and sort of comes into her own. And although I was at first disappointed by Harris’s storyline choices for Bill (what an arse he turned out to be) Eric and the arrival of Alcide sure made up for his absence. Leaving things wide open and this reader very curious as to where exactly things are heading in the romance department.

Lately Sookie’s vampire boyfriend Bill has been a little absent, having more of a relationship with his computer and “project” then with her. When he suddenly announces that he’s taking an extended business trip to another state Sookie realizes something other than vampire business is going on. Before long the bodies start piling up at work again, after a werewolf gang member tries to abduct Sookie and ends up face to face with some hard hitting but simple blue suede shoes.

Enter the ever sexy and cheeky Eric, who informs Sookie that Bill’s been kidnapped while spending time with an old flame in Mississippi. (So much for business) Now Eric needs Sookie’s mind reading abilities to help locate Bill before they torture him to a more permanent death. Despite the obvious betrayal Sookie agrees, although she might just kill him herself once she finds him.

Sookie soon finds herself under the care of one fantastic and yummy werewolf named Alcide Herveraux. They have an immediate connection and make a great team although romantically their timing is never quite right (what with all the body dumping, ex fiancé’s and flying vamps coming to call)

Alcide is to act as Sookie’s date and guide while in Jackson, gaining her access into the otherwise off limits, Club Dead. This is where the vampire king of Mississippi hangs out whom they assume is responsible for Bills disappearance. Before long Eric turns up in another of his quirky disguises and general carnage ensues. The action in this book is non-stop with vampires and humans alike getting staked and of course it’s a full moon which brings every beast in town out to play. It’s a ton of unputdownable, bloody fun.

Club Dead for me is where the Sookie Stackhouse series really starts getting its feet under it. Things are definitely not well between Sookie and her boyfriend vampire Bill, and as Sookie heads to Mississippi to track him down and rescue him from lethal peril, she is torn between the attentions of the werewolf Alcide--and way more attention than she'd like from the vampire Eric, who is growing more and more interested in her with every book.

This third book was more of the same, and while there were times I wanted to slap Sookie (even though she gets beat up a number of times in here...again.

Since I was already on a roll of unpleasant books, I finally forced myself to read my second (her third) novel (the magazine SFX had made me import two with their misleading review).

After a typical (cold, boring) interlude showing how irresistable he is (he wears flanel and has hair), vampire Bill disappears at the start of the book and readers are supposed to be stupid enough to fear for his life. Even if Sookie's feelings hadn't been so badly written, I still wouldn't have cared. Bill, like the other vampires, embodies everything I dislike, but supposedly titillates the majority of readers, since vampire novels are now a genre of their own. There is the huge difference between the heroine and her super man that are meant to make it sexier, resulting in off-putting sex as the garnish on a deeply conventional reactionary relationship.

This time dear Sookie once again gets lusted over and groped by a number of men that are supposed to be erotic due to being supernatural. She is still the most beautiful woman, all natural, as she confesses, but the rubbing up to werewolves et al is only pretend sizzle, because she never has sex with anybody but her husband, whom she supposedly loves although mostly is just angry at or afraid of (which supposedly is meant to be erotic) - who btw isn't her husband so she misses cooking him breakfast and she cannot accept his money because they are not legally married. It's a constant praise of the simplest of minds, of the housewife that obeys all the traditional rules for women and gets rewarded by being the object of lust of "wild" (mostly just in their hair styles) men.

I had to stop reading now after she proudly Mary Sued that she got all her education from "genre reading" (although she likes to quote difficult words from her word-a-day calendar too) and toddled off for that wonderful luxury females indulge in, a beauty make-over.

*sigh* Once more into the breach, I go, once more into the breach ...

ETA: After various killings and threats of torture, lil Sookie seriously thinks the following: "Somehow, it had never crossed my mind - I guess since I'm an American - that the vampires who had snatched Bill might be resorting to evil means to get him to talk." AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH I would tear out my hair but really I should tear out Harris'.

FAZIT: A bloody Mills&Boone novel, the only difference being that the men alternately defending or threatening, but always lusting after the safely bland heroine are "supernatural".

BOTTOMLINE: the pervasive trend in current?genre fiction seems to be self-satisfaction. The heroines and possibly the writers night not even be aware of it, but OTOH I noticed it's no longer considered negative and egocentric but positive and strong to state how great oneself is. And never mind the obligatory asides meant to indicate self-doubt: the annoying women from the novels of e.g. Raybourne and Harris are 111 percent sure of their superiority, any lack of knowledge being part of that parcel of perfection.

But towards the end of the book, the reading was easier. That was partly because Sookie was badly beaten up (yay), partly because all the previous action or violence tended to be covered by one sentence, the rest was her moving between bars and flats and petrol stations and doing her nails. To top off the tedium, it ended in a bit of a cliff-hanger, with Eric (yes, he is a Viking) still in better graces than bf Bill, although the next novel might uncover misconceptions. Whatever *puts it up for mooching*(less)

And that Bill has a secret mission he isn´t inclined to talk about and even leaves on a secret business trip doesn´t improve things either. One night Eric (Bill´s charismatic vampire boss) shows up and reveals Sookie that Bill wants to leave her and has gone back to his former vampire lover Lorena. Not only that this news are bad enough Eric tells her also that Bill has been kidnapped and he needs Sookie´s help to find him. Sookie agrees although her heart is broken about Bill´s betrayal. She is accompanied to Jackson, Mississippi where Bill is supposed to be restrained by the attractive werewolf Alcide Herveaux who is in debt to Eric...
Once again I was delighted by Sookie´s adventures. Even hurt and depressed she doesn´t want to leave Bill to his gruesome fate and comes to his rescue. And that Alcide is handsome and attentive and seems to like her doesn´t hurt either. I really liked the attraction between the two and I hope he will show up in one of the next books again. When Eric showed up in Jackson too I was perfectly happy because when I´m honest I like him more than Bill and I always wish him success with his attempts to get into Sookie´s pants. A nice subplot was the vampire Bubba once a certain famous singer – and don´t say his name – who was sent by Eric to protect Sookie. What he did more or less...
One of the scenes I liked most in this book was in my opinion Alcide and Sookie getting rid of a corpse they found mysteriously in Alcide´s wardrobe - wrapping it up in a shower curtain and taking it to Alcide´s car by elevator and stairs really amused me.
This book was written fluently and very enjoyable to read and I can even ignore the fact that Sookie has been(again) beaten half to death – this seems to become a pattern I could easily do without. But it didn´t impair my entertainment, my frowning was only temporary and I will certainly stick with this series and read the next volume "Dead to the World" as soon as my time allows...

Sookie's vampire boyfriend, Bill, has become secretive and distant, and then disappears entirely. Eric's sure he's been kidnapped, and so Sookie goes to Mississippi to find him - even though it looks like he was going to leave her for his vampire ex. A gang of werewolves is causing problems but Sookie has the help of Alcide, a werewolf who owes Eric a favour, and the sexual tension simmers away. Actually, this third book has no sex scenes at all, what with Sookie's love life being so up-in-the-a...more

In Club Dead the character of the werewolf Alcide is introduced as a possible romantic interest for Sookie. It’s quite funny how she lusts over the guy throughout the book, while at the same time she’s upset with Bill about his relationship with his ex.

This was really more like 3.5 stars for me. As literature, it's pure trash. But the story has really drawn me in now. I am glad the author varied up her topic a bit with this one, adding in what I hope because a new regular character. If you are looking for an mindless read, this book would do fine as a stand alone, but you would probably enjoy it more having the back story from the first two books.

Club Dead by Charlaine Harris (pp. 288)

The third installment in the Sookie Stackhouse series is a bit of a dud. More campy than the first two with a healthy side of cheese, Harris steals more from harlequin and romance novels than the horror/vampire genre making this genre soup taste a bit funky.

Harris departs from the Bon Temps locales she’s established and spends more time in a world that she clearly hasn’t spent much time in real life. Descriptions of wardrobes and interiors seem taken from t...more

C'monn even Sookie can staked her (although from Eric description at first he seemed to regard her as someone more powerful due to his longer existence. I mean he had doubt if he can finish the job. HAH!!!)

BUT she needs to decide: Bill, Eric or Alcide!! She can't just a little from here and there. Although a sneak peak at Wiki more or less tell me the rest of the series...hmmphhh...I still think Charlaine should just create a better Bill and make them a happy couple despite everything (not that I want them in a Bella-Edward way). It's just such a waste of feeling that I've build from the beginning of the book...to be just thrown out like that.

On the story side, I think this one was too "forced," (I don't know what's the appropriate terms to use). Starting from the way Bill left and the so called Project that Bill's working on. I mean I know it's like a list of agent for some secret agency, which will be very dangerous if it fall to the enemy. But, it's the vampire itself who wants the program not human. Also, the complication is solved just as easily when at first it's prolong and describe as something that can lead to total war. Just by one phone call from Bill??!! I would have thought he or Eric would have avenged Russel for taking him prisoner and torture him. And Sookie of course has to be involved and she's involved in everything. I started to think all trouble start from her. Her involvement too is I think too "forced" I don't know...sometimes it doesn't make sense what I read.

I'm not too happy...but I think I'll read on the whole series anyway. It's still fun!! Plus I'm waiting for the movie season 2 to start too. Can't wait to see Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer...maybe a bit of Eric too. I heard he's going to be awsome this season (just like in the book ^_^).

About Charlaine Harris

Charlaine Harris has been a published novelist for over twenty-five years. A native of the Mississippi Delta, she grew up in the middle of a cotton field. Now she lives in southern Arkansas with her husband, her three children, three dogs, and a duck. The duck stays outside.

A native of the Mississippi Delta, she grew up in the middle of a cotton field. Now she lives in southern Arkansas with her husband, her three children, three dogs, and a duck. The duck stays outside.

Though her early output consisted largely of ghost stories, by the time she hit college (Rhodes, in Memphis) Charlaine was writing poetry and plays. After holding down some low-level jobs, she had the opportunity to stay home and write, and the resulting two stand-alones were published by Houghton Mifflin. After a child-producing sabbatical, Charlaine latched on to the trend of writing mystery series, and soon had her own traditional books about a Georgia librarian, Aurora Teagarden. Her first Teagarden, Real Murders, garnered an Agatha nomination.

Soon Charlaine was looking for another challenge, and the result was the much darker Lily Bard series. The books, set in Shakespeare, Arkansas, feature a heroine who has survived a terrible attack and is learning to live with its consequences.

When Charlaine began to realize that neither of those series was ever going to set the literary world on fire, she regrouped and decided to write the book she’d always wanted to write. Not a traditional mystery, nor yet pure science fiction or romance, Dead Until Dark broke genre boundaries to appeal to a wide audience of people who just enjoy a good adventure. Each subsequent book about Sookie Stackhouse, telepathic Louisiana barmaid and friend to vampires, werewolves, and various other odd creatures, has drawn more readers. The Southern Vampire books are published in Japan, Great Britain, Greece, Germany, Thailand, Spain, France, and Russia.

In addition to Sookie, Charlaine has another heroine with a strange ability. Harper Connelly, lightning-struck and strange, can find corpses… and that’s how she makes her living.

In addition to her work as a writer, Charlaine is the past senior warden of St. James Episcopal Church, a board member of Mystery Writers of America, a past board member of Sisters in Crime, a member of the American Crime Writers League, and past president of the Arkansas Mystery Writers Alliance. She spends her "spare" time reading, watching her daughter play sports, traveling, and going to the movies. (less)
