TERESA JUSINO was born on the same day that Skylab fell. Coincidence? She doesn't think so. As a writer, her work has appeared in Elmont Life newspaper, and on the sadly defunct website, CentralBooking.com. She is a founding member and editor of The Revolving Door Commune Blog, is currently at work on a collection of short stories, and is writing a web series for Pareidolia Films called The Pack, which is set to debut this fall! As a geek, Teresa loves all Star Trek, Lost, Fringe, comics, and anything Joss Whedon, Brian K. Vaughan, and Neil Gaiman ever touched. She is also an aspiring fangbanger.

I’m surprised at how faithful Ball and company are being to the novel. And at how much more I’m enjoying it as a TV series than I did as a book. (Doesn’t it usually go the other way around?) I think a big part of it is Tara. Since the book was written from Sookie’s point of view, the reader isn’t given a lot of insight into things that happen when she’s not around unless she’s told about them. The series is letting us see much more the goings-on in Bon Temps, and the world of Blood Ties is richer for it.
Yes! Tara’s not even in the original book! As my housemate put it, “There’s a lot less black in the book!”
But yes, I love that the entire cast of characters is strong!
I love this show
