Synopsis
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 are creating a new mythology for the strip-mall, tract-house, cellphone America of the new millennium. One of the best-known and best writers of the new American mythology is Charlaine Harris. Dead as a Doornail is the fifth novel in her Anthony Award-winning Southern Vampire series. It continues the story of psychic waitress Sookie Stackhouse.
