Hunting around on the Powell's website, in the Mystery category, I see there is a sub-genre (or maybe it's just a single series) called Southern Vampire Mysteries.

Wow, that's...specific.

I'm sure they're different than I'm imagining them but somehow the idea of a Southern Vampire Mystery stretches even my ability to suspend disbelief.

I imagine that would be Charlaine Harris' "Sookie Stackhouse" Southern Vampire mystery series. I think after she was three books into the series, they just gave it to her . . .

She is a good writer (I like the Reel Murder series best) and if vampires were real, her's are pretty funny. The HBO version is funny when they use her dialogue but tawdry otherwise.
