For the most part, I am not a fan of the growing number of movies, television shows or books out there related to the blood sucking creatures, but at the recommendation of several people, I checked out the “True Blood” HBO series, which is about the coexistence of vampires and humans in small-town Louisiana. In this world, vampires don’t hide their existence, and most avoid killing people by drinking synthetic blood called “Tru Blood”/ Omie Drawhorn , Moscow-Pullman Daily News. More here .
