NEW BLOOD EDITION: Contains three new chapters from Season 3.
This new edition is available as an E-BOOK ONLY and contains
three chapters not found in the print book!
The first look at the philosophical issues behind Charlaine
Harris’s New York Times bestsellers The Southern Vampire
Mysteries and the True Blood television series!
Teeming with complex, mythical characters in the shape of
vampires, telepaths, shapeshifters, and the like, True
Blood, the popular HBO series adapted from Charlaine Harris’s
bestselling The Southern Vampire Mysteries, has a rich collection
of themes to explore, from sex and romance to bigotry and violence
to death and immortality. The goings-on in the mythical town of Bon
Temps, Louisiana, where vampires satiate their blood lust and
openly commingle with ordinary humans, present no shortages of
juicy metaphysical morsels to sink your teeth into.
Now True Blood and Philosophy calls on the minds of some
of history’s great thinkers to perform some philosophical
bloodletting on such topics as Sookie and the metaphysics of
mindreading; Maryann and sacrificial religion; werewolves,
shapeshifters and personal identity; vampire politics, evil,
desire, and much more.
* The first book to explore the philosophical issues and themes
behind the True Blood novels and television series
* Adds a new dimension to your understanding of True Blood
characters and themes
* The perfect companion to the start of the third season on HBO
and the release of the second season on DVD
Smart and entertaining, True Blood and Philosophy
provides food — or blood — for thought, and a fun, new way to
look at the series.
