The Sookie Stackhouse Companion Book Excerpt Released

Taken from source:
With the release of The Sookie Stackhouse Companion next week, Penquin has released an excerpt from the long awaited tome.

Here’s a snippet of the excerpt:

Life in Bon Temps
The Secret Dialogues of Bill and Eric

To: Eric Northman,
Sheriff of Area Five, LA

Dear Eric,

With the permission of Sophie-Anne Leclerq, Queen of Louisiana, I will be returning to claim my ancestral home in Bon Temps.

Sincerely,

William Compton

To: William Compton

Dear Bill,

Long time no see. As you know, the vampires in my area pay their fealty by working at Fangtasia. Please contact Pam to set up your schedule.

Eric Northman

————————–

To: Eric Northman,
Sheriff of Area Five, LA

Dear Eric,

I understand that your vampires may offer a tithe as an alternative to working at Fangtasia. I have other obligations and fear I will not have the time to dedicate to your club.

Sincerely,

William Compton

To: William Compton

Dear Bill,

A tithe is acceptable, but I would much prefer your time at Fangtasia. As a former Confederate soldier you would be quite a draw. I understand that you have work to do for the queen, but surely you can spare me, your sheriff, some of your valuable time as well.

Eric Northman

————————–

To: Eric Northman,
Sheriff of Area Five, LA

Dear Eric,

Please find enclosed my certified check for six months’ tithe.

Sincerely,

William Compton
