“True Blood and Philosophy: We Wanna Think Bad Things with You” is a philosophical look at the cultural implications within the world of the HBO series True Blood. As it is not likely that the issues presented by the presence of vampires in our human society will actually become a problem for the world any time soon, this book shows the reader the parallels between the True Blood world and our own. The same issues that the vampires in True Blood experience (racism, hypocrisy, the fight for equality) have been seen throughout history by any number of minorities. Women, Homosexuals and almost every race at some time or another has fought the “norms” of society to include them and afford them the basic rights given to everyone else.

“True Blood and Philosophy: We Wanna Think Bad Things with You” is a book that any intellectual can enjoy…assuming they also have a bit of imagination and don’t mind being compared to vampires in one way or another. So, sink your teeth in.
