The Best Vampire in Town

A while ago I posted a little story about
there being a New Vampire In Town...
namely Bill Compton of HBO's True Blood
which is based off of the Sookie Stackhouse
(Southern Vampire Series) novels by Charlaine Harris.
Well... I posted that before I read the books.

There are 9 complete novels and several short stories
about Sookie and the goings on in Bon Temps, LA.
If you've followed the show or read the books
you know how exciting and crazy it can get
for the townspeople, especially Sookie Stackhouse.

Well people, I've switched my allegiance!
Yes, Vampire Bill was a nice diversion
from Mick St. John.
He was an older... more mysterious
and sexy vampire.
But there is someone on True Blood
who is much more interesting,
much more dangerous and much more sexy!

His Name?
Well, a picture is worth a thousand words right?
Meet the thousand year-old Vampire, Eric Northman:

This is from True Blood's first season.
He is shown here sitting on his throne in Fangtasia (his bar)
Eric's part was kinda small and in the background.
I believe the actor, Alexander Skarsgard, described
his role in season one as "a glorified extra".

This is Eric's new look for season two.

His longs locks had to be cut off by Pam
after a mishap including blood and hair dye. lol.
They still haven't explained how a vampire
can change his looks... but frankly...
who cares when this is the end result?

Eric Northman is the sheriff of Area 5.
He 6' 4" of powerful, confident, arrogant, pure Vampire.
Essentially, all the vampires in his area must do as he says.
Bill constantly tries to stand up to Eric
at least where Sookie is concerned
(you got to give him credit for that, at least)
but he is continually put in his place
by the powerful Eric.
Oh, and as if Bill and Eric didn't
have enough to clash egos about...
Eric... wants... Sookie.
Sookie has agreed to help Eric whenever he wants
(much to Bill's dismay)
as long as he didn't kill anyone.

THIS... is the "BEST Vampire in Town"
Eric Northman:
1000 year old Viking Vampire
TALL
MUSCULAR
CONFIDENT
DANGEROUS
LETHAL
SEXY
COCKY
and...
LOYAL

Read the books to find out more about him.
Then tune in on Sunday nights at 9:00 Eastern Time
on HBO to watch him in action.
I doubt you'll be disappointed.

Oh and if you're thinking
"why should I watch True Blood
if I've already read the books?"
Alan Ball has decided to take license with the story-lines
and he's also messed with the characters a bit
(something I really don't like since I love
Charlaine's characters the way she wrote them!)

I'm just sayin'
