(Also called the Southern Vampire series... Sookie is not a vampire but her boyfriend is. In the first book anyway.) The True Blood series is based on this, but I really know very little about either. Someone recommended who I share other mystery tastes with, so I thought... why not? <br /><br />I read most of Charlaine Harris's Lily Bard series (set in Shakespeare, Arkansas) and liked it.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-21829525426226951672014-06-22T08:59:44.657+01:002014-06-22T08:59:44.657+01:00I wondered if you would, knowing that fantasy was ...I wondered if you would, knowing that fantasy was one of your areas, but everyone has their own strands.

I have tried and liked all manner of fantasy characters but not vampires yet. There is a different series that has some vampires that I plan to try but don't know when.

I'll have to decide whether to actually read - the topic isn't one I consider very much for me. But the atmosphere and historical setting are...

However, the setting of the story, in the Victorian Gothic era of the late 19th century, sounds interesting. I prefer "atmospheric scenes" over mindless action, as it were, and a slow-paced book often has its own charm. Prashant C.
