Charlaine Harris' smash-hit Sookie Stackhouse series may have reached its conclusion, but the world of Bon Temps, Louisiana, lives on in this all-new collection of 15 stories.

Sookie Stackhouse enjoys her life, mostly. She's a great cocktail waitress in a fun bar; she has a love life, albeit a bit complicated, and most people have come to terms with her telepathy. The problem is, Sookie wants a quiet life - but things just seem to happen to her and her friends. Now her brother Jason's eyes are starting to change: he's about to turn into a were-panther for the first time.

Sookie doesn't have that many relations, so she hated to lose one - but of all the people to go, she didn't expect it to be her cousin Hadley, a consort of New Orleans' vampire queen - after all, Hadley was technically already dead. But she is gone, beyond recall, and she's left Sookie an inheritance - one that comes with a bit of a risk - not least because someone doesn't want Sookie digging too deep into Hadley's past - or her possessions.

Cocktail waitress Sookie Stackhouse is having a streak of bad luck. First her co-worker is killed. Then she comes face to-face with a beastly creature that gives her a painful and poisonous lashing. Enter the vampires, who graciously suck the poison from her veins (like they didn't enjoy it). The point is: they saved her life. So when one of them asks for a favour, she obliges - and soon Sookie's in Dallas, using her telepathic skills to search for a missing vampire.

You’ll learn how Michele and Jason’s marriage fared, what happened to Sookie’s cousin Hunter, and whether Tara and JB’s twins grew up to be solid citizens.

Now it's the turn of the weres and shifters to follow the lead of the undead and reveal their existence to the ordinary world.Sookie Stackhouse already knows about them, of course - her brother turns into a panther at the full moon, she's friend to the local Were pack, and Sam, her boss at Merlotte's bar, is a shifter. At first the great Were revelation seems to go well - then the horribly mutilated body of a were-panther is found outside Merlotte's.

There's only one vampire Sookie Stackhouse is involved with - at least voluntarily - and that's Bill. But recently he's been a little distant - in another state distant. His sinister and sexy boss, Eric, has an idea where to find him, and next thing Sookie knows she's off to Jackson, Mississippi, to mingle with the underworld at Club Dead.

Liebe, Mord und Alltagsleben - eine bissige Lektüre mit Tiefgang: Sind Vampire wirklich gesellschaftsfähig? Wenn es nach "Vorübergehend tot" von Charlaine Harris geht, ja. Zumindest, wenn es um den gut aussehenden, düsteren Mann geht, den Kellnerin Sookie Stackhouse eines Tages in einer Bar kennenlernt. Leider ist er nicht der einzige Vampir auf der Welt und so überstürzen sich in der friedlichen Kleinstadt Bon Temps bald die unangenehmen Ereignisse.

¿SEDUCIR O SER SEDUCIDO? ¿MORDER... O SER MORDIDO? No todos los días se encuentra una con un vampiro desnudo en la carretera. Pero no todo el mundo es Sookie Stackhouse, camarera rompecorazones, amiga de vampiros, aventurera en contra de su voluntad y telépata. Para más inri, resulta que él no tiene ni idea de quién es. Sin embargo, Sookie sí: es Eric, el vampiro más poderoso (y sexy) del Área 5. Pero ahora es un Eric más amable, dulce y vulnerable. Y muy asustado, porque sabe que quien le quitó la memoria ahora quiere su vida.

"Dancers in the Dark" is set in the Sookieverse and features Sean and Layla. Dancer Layla Rue Le May's childhood prepared her to handle just about anything, including her aloof partner, Sean McClendon, a 300-year-old, redheaded vampire. Even so, when she somehow acquires a stalker, Layla Rue is surprised to find that Sean is the only one she can trust.

Sookie Stackhouse es una camarera de cócteles de poca monta en un pequeño pueblo de Luisiana, un lugar tranquilo donde casi nada pasa... excepto el tiempo. Es tranquila y tiende a ocuparse de sus propios asuntos, excepto cuando se trata de su «tara». Y es que no es fácil tener poderes telepáticos y enterarse de todos los secretos que la gente esconde.

Para Sookie Stackhouse, las actividades del día a día de los vampiros y cambiantes de la comunidad de Bon Temps y alrededores, en Luisiana, son de vital interés. Tiene un vínculo de sangre con el rey de los vampiros, es amiga del grupo de cambiantes local, trabaja para un hombre que puede transformarse en cualquier animal, y tiene un hermano pantera. Aunque para la mayor parte de la población humana, los vampiros son criaturas misteriosas y seductoras, y eso que ni siquiera saben de la existencia de los cambiantes. Hasta ahora.

Las leyes vampíricas en el pueblo de Bon Temps son las que son, pero nunca antes habían herido el corazón de Sookie de un modo tan profundo. El hecho de crecer con habilidades telepáticas hizo que Sookie Stackhouse se diera cuenta pronto de que había secretos que prefería no conocer. Y ahora que ha crecido, va a descubrir que tampoco le gustaría tener que ver algunas situaciones como, por ejemplo, a Eric Northman bebiéndose la sangre de una joven.

En muy poco tiempo, Sookie ha tenido que enfrentarse al peligro de la mano de vampiros, cambiaformas y otras criaturas míticas. Y sin embargo, lo que más le preocupa es la repentina desaparición de su novio: Bill se ha marchado sin razón aparente a Jackson, Misisipi, pero ya estaba distante de antes...

Una mala racha. Así es como podría llamarse a lo que está viviendo Sookie. Primero, su compañero de trabajo es asesinado y a nadie parece importarle. Luego se encuentra cara a cara con una criatura sobrenatural y casi muere en el ataque. Afortunadamente los vampiros le salvaron la vida, así que cuando le piden que busque a uno de ellos, desaparecido en Dallas, Sookie no lo duda ni un momento: les debe un favor.
