IF YOU LIKED TRUE BLOOD, STAY TUNED!








Charlaine Harris has a new series, MIDNIGHT TEXAS, and it's beginning July 24.  

I have read the three books of the series she has written so far: Midnight Crossing, Day Shift and Night Shift; and if this new series is as well produced as True Blood it will be a grabber.  

The main difference between the books and the trailer is the script writers seemed to have modified the cast.
  
In the book the population of Midnight is approximately twelve: an ancient vampire, a witch, a pawn shop owner, a psychic, a couple of weretigers, two gay angels, a mob hit woman and some people you are not sure of.  Almost everyone in Midnight is middle aged.

But who wants to look at a bunch of middle aged people?  In the trailer it looks like everyone is young and hot, and they changed the two gay angels to one angle hunk – probably straight (why?)

Oh well, that what you get when you read the books before seeing the movie.  




Anyway, I will be watching and I invite you to watch with me.

Note: on YOUTUBE it looks like the series was possibly released sometime in 2016 – unless that was an advanced trailer; but it is airing here in Maine on NBC on 24 July.

I CAN TAKE OR LEAVE ZOMBIES





BUT I AM DEFINITELY GLAD VAMPIRES ARE BACK.

Charlaine Harris has started a new series.    West of Bon Temps, Louisiana, in the west Texas town of Midnight – population 10 – the story continues.


  

In the first of the series, Midnight Crossroad, we meet the cast of characters – a strange group that choose to live in the middle of nowhere to protect their privacy.   It is a murder mystery with a strange cast that leaves you wondering.

In the second book, published this year, you find out more about the residents. 



Midnight is a spot in the road in the middle of west Texas nowhere.  If you ever travel through you might have the urge to stop and gas up and use the restroom at the convenience store; but you would be advised to travel on through; unless you are unafraid of vampires, weretigers and witches with talking cats.     

Traveler Beware!
