Grew up with people thinking she was crazy, when really she just couldn't handle hearing everyone's thoughts all the time. Her parents once sent her to a therapist as a child. Though Sookie tried to explain she could hear people's thoughts, the therapist convinced herself and Sookie's parents that Sookie could just naturally interpret people's body language. Never really dated anyone because she could always hear the crude, sex-crazed thoughts of her dates. Lived her entire life filtering out people's thoughts until she met vampire Bill Compton whose vamp mind she couldn't hear at all.

In the not-too-distant future, vampires have come out of the coffin. Thanks to the invention of mass-produced synthetic blood, vampires no longer need humans for their fix and can walk freely, if not yet comfortably, among their living counterparts – though they can still come out only at night.
Meanwhile, in the backwoods Louisiana town of Bon Temps, Sookie Stackhouse works as a waitress at the down-home bar Merlotte’s. Though outwardly normal, she has unusual qualities of her own: Sookie can read minds, which complicates her world in endless ways. But Sookie’s life becomes a lot more interesting when Merlotte’s gets its first vampire patron – the 173-year-old Bill Compton – and the two outsiders are immediately drawn to each other.
