Moonlight may be gone, but vampires are here to stay, this time in the new HBO show, True Blood.  Check this out:

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.

Mixing romance, suspense, mystery and humor, the new HBO series TRUE BLOOD kicks off its 12-episode first season SUNDAY, SEPT. 7 (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET/PT). 

The show stars Anna Paquin from X-Men and Stephen Moyer of The Starter Wife.  It’s supposed to be quite sexy and since it’s on HBO you know they can make it so.
