From Emma Bull's War for the Oaks to Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter series, from The X-Files to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, 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. Dead to the World 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. --Cynthia Ward

Product Description
When cocktail waitress Sookie Stackhouse sees a naked man on the side of the road, she doesn't just drive on by. Turns out the poor thing hasn't a clue who he is, but Sookie does. It's Eric the vampire--but now he's a kinder, gentler Eric. And a scared Eric, because whoever took his memory now wants his life.

Team Bill
3 Stars
This was my least favorite Sookie book so far. I really love the first 3 and I'm really into the HBO series. I don't care for Eric, although this pseudo and amnesia Eric was alright, it still was not *really* Eric. Even after the last book I'm still obviously Team Bill, can't you tell? I really really disliked where the author took Jason's character. This is also the first book I read after watching the HBO series, I had read the first three before it aired, and this book just kinda made the series look better. I really want to get caught up on the rest of the books but after this one, eh, I'm not in any rush.

Charlain Harris Best Read
5 Stars
Can't say enough about the whole Southern Vampire Mysteries, (Sookie Stackhouse Books)This is the most entertained I have been in a long time.
Laugh out Loud humor and constant energy runs through these books; all of Charlain Harris's books. But I love Sookie and I hope she and Bill get back together! Eric's fun; "yike,yahoo,yum" (have to read the books to find out) I stay laughing and blushing all through the series. Can not wait until #9!
