It’s almost time for True Blood! But while fans gear up for the sixth season, it’s the beginning of the end for the show’s source material, The Southern Vampire Mysteries.

Charlaine Harris, the author of the books on which the show was based, is bringing the Sookie Stackhouse series to an end with the thirteenth and final novel Dead Ever After. And yet, her fans are not happy — in fact, they’re so upset that they’ve been sending the writer some threats!

Charlaine revealed:

We guess all good things - and seksi vampire stories - must come to an end eventually!

Although True Blood is pretty much confirmed for season five next year, the books that inspired the series, The Southern Vampire Mysteries, written by Charlaine Harris, will most likely end after its 13th installment!

According to Harris:

“I'm writing Book Twelve and then there will be Book Thirteen. And then I'll think of something else new and wonderful to do. I don't go back to things once I've finished them. I don't want to write Sookie after I get stale. Yeah, I'll miss them, I'm sure, because I have lived with them for quite a long time — twelve years now. But I think writers like to do different things. At least this writer does.”

That's certainly fair enough! I don't think anyone can protest wanting to start something new after spending that much time in a character's world, such as Sookie's!

And we think we'll all be okay! We still have the show, at least!

What do U think?? Will U miss The Southern Vampire Mysteries?

Did you see this week's True Blood?

Good, wasn't it?? Were you surprised with the ending??

In case you didn't see Sunday's episode, there was a pretty major DEATH at the end of the episode that had a lot of fans wondering, "Why?"

Well, creator Alan Ball and author of the books Charlaine Harris have some answers for you.

WARNING: MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD!

Eric, played by the amazing ASkars, was seen feeding off of Sookie's fairy godmother Claudine, which doesn't happen until much later in the books.

Ball says:

"After everything that was going on with the fairies in the first episode, I think we wanted to sort of put a pin in that, but obviously it’s not over. I felt it would have more impact if it was someone we knew as opposed to just a random fairy."

Thankfull, author Charlaine was cool with Alan's decision to kill her off.. She adds:

"If we did just do everything in the books, there would be no surprises. It’s not like we have a formula for what we’re going to keep from the books and what we’re going to change. If there’s a consensus that something makes sense, that’s usually the way we go. If he can be gracious to me, I can certainly be gracious enough to wait and see where he’s going."

As for the rest of this shocking season, Alan says:

"It gets ugly between the vampires and the witches. There’s more than one fight coming up. There’s also a very unexpected romantic attachment which you’ll start to see the beginnings of I believe in next week’s episode. We’re gonna find out a lot about Jesus’ magic that’s in his family. We’re gonna get to the bottom of what’s going on with Arlene’s baby."

Sooo excited! Just keep giving us Vampire Eric and we'll be satisfied!

So, Truebies! What did U think of this week's episode?
