The Sookie Stackhouse Mysteries/YMMV


  • Acceptable Religious Targets: The Fellowship of the Sun is full of vampire-hating people who feel it's their right to tell people how to live their lives. They also preach vampires and other supernaturals are an abomination in God's sight. They're not above blowing things up or killing people to make this point.
  • Alternative Character Interpretation: Sookie - An unfortunate woman who's been "Crazy ol' Sookie" for so long she doesn't know how to be anything else or a professional victim who doesn't want to be anything else?
    • Is Sookie a hard-working, innocent woman, hrought into a world she doesn't belong in and ends up having her heart broken by many men? Or is she just a nosy shrew who keeps putting herself in these situations, and cruelly toys with her men and breaks it off with them whenever she gets pissed?
  • Anvilicious: We get it, Charlaine Harris, it's a metaphor for gay people and how they are treated.
    • The books may also be poking fun at using mystical creatures as metaphors (elves, zombies etc.). Hell, Eric even calls Sookie out on using a bad metaphor (comparing vampires to lions) in the fourth book.
  • Base Breaker: Sookie's become this in later books.
  • Canon Sue: Sookie is the object of desire to a heapload of people, frequently provokes others and is never called on it.
  • Crowning Moment of Awesome: Sookie blowing Debbie's brains out with a shotgun in book 4.
  • Crowning Moment of Funny: Sookie's Intoxication Ensues when she takes the werewolf pack's unidentified drug mixture to become their temporary "shaman." "Beep!"
  • Designated Protagonist Syndrome
  • Ensemble Darkhorse: Pam and Bubba. Hunter's also become one, having been the focus of speculation and fanfics.
  • High Octane Nightmare Fuel: There are several instances of torture and/or particularly gruesome deaths.
  • The Woobie - Sam.
