Heute habe ich endlich Joyce Carol OATES ausgelesen. Das Buch hat mir sehr gut gefallen, aber zum Schluß wollte ich es schon fertig lesen. Wobei ich den Schluß dann als etwas Unpassend und Seltsam fand. Es war ein bedrückendes Buch, aber das ist bei Oates ja oft so.
Heute Abend beginne ich dann endlich mit der Sookie-Stackhouse-Serie, von der ich ja auch jedes Monat einen Teil lesen möchte. Und darauf freue ich mich, denn es wird bestimmt wieder sehr kurzweilig - die Fernsehserie ist ja wesentlich düsterer und gewaltvoller.
Meine neue Lektüre:
Charlaine HARRIS
Dead Until Dark
Plot summary: Sookie lives with her grandmother, Adele, and has an older brother, Jason. Early in the book, Sookie falls in love with a vampire, a Civil War veteran named Bill Compton. After first meeting Bill, Sookie saves him from some "drainers", people who steal blood from vampires. Bill returns the favor the next day when the drainers attack Sookie.
Several murders occur in Bon Temps, and Bill becomes a suspect because many of the bodies have fang marks. Sookie's brother Jason is romantically linked to two of the victims, prompting the Bon Temps police arrest him. Wanting to help her brother, Sookie asks Bill to take her to a vampire bar called Fangtasia, which is owned by Eric Northman, a vampire sheriff much older and more powerful than Bill.
Eric realizes that Sookie's telepathy can be useful and commands Bill to direct Sookie to use her ability to determine the identity of the one embezzling from Fangtasia. Once Sookie identifies Long Shadow, who is Eric's partner and also a vampire, a confrontation ensues that nearly kills Sookie. Eric saves Sookie's life by staking Long Shadow when he attacks her. Meanwhile in Bon Temps, Adele is murdered within the family kitchen.
Bill, concerned with Eric's power over him and Sookie, decides to improve his own position within the vampire hierarchy. He asks Bubba, a dim-witted vampire, to protect Sookie while he is gone. Sookie discovers that her boss, Sam, is a shape-shifter when she lets a stray dog sleep on her bed and finds a naked Sam in the morning.
While Bill is gone, Sookie discovers that the murderer is her brother's friend Rene Lenier. He almost kills her, but she fights back. Badly injured, Sookie wakes up in the hospital and finds Bill by her side. Bill tells Sookie that he has become his area's investigator, working under Eric.
