Dead until dark
Sookie Stackhouse is a small-time cocktail waitress in small-town Louisiana. She's quiet, keeps to herself, and doesn't get out much - not because she's not pretty - she's a very cute bubbly blonde - or not interested in a social life. She really is ... but Sookie's got a bit of a disability. She can read minds. And that doesn't make her too dateable. And then along comes Bill: he's tall, he's dark and he's handsome - and Sookie can't 'hear' a word he's thinking. He's exactly the type of guy she's been waiting all her life for. But Bill has a disability of his own: he's fussy about his food, he doesn't like suntans and he's never around during the day ... Yep, Bill's a vampire. Worse than that, he hangs with a seriously creepy crowd, with a reputation for trouble - of the murderous kind. And then one of Sookie's colleagues at the bar is killed, and it's beginning to look like Sookie might be the next victim ...

Victorian and Edwardian Virtual Reality: from Stoker to Forster
Fantasies of global transmission haunted the Victorian era, as demonstrated by one of George Du Maurier’s cartoons. Dracula engages with transmission in a dual way, turning Mina’s mind into a radio-system which the Count may switch on and off, whereas Van Helsing may reverse the signal and spy on the vampire; technology embodying modernity, from the phonograph to the typewriter or telegraph, may vanquish the Count’s archaic powers of transmission. E. M. Forster’s 1909 short story ‘The Machine Stops’ evidences on the contrary a dystopian distrust of technology. With acute intuition, Forster envisions a network of long distance communications, and challenges the potential human dependence on prosthetic technology. He advocates instead a return to true human contact.
