If you think your family relationships are complicated, think again: you haven't
seen anything like the ones in Bon Temps, Louisiana. Sookie Stackhouse is deali
ng with a whole host of family problems, ranging from her own kin (a non-human f
airy and a telepathic second cousin) demanding a place in her life, to her lover
Eric's vampire sire, an ancient being, who arrives with Eric's 'brother' in tow
at a most inopportune moment. And Sookie's tracking down a distant relation of
her ailing neighbour (and ex), Vampire Bill Compton.
