Dear Eric,. . . It’s not exactly a “dear kitty” kind of diary,but it’s just as thrilling. Steve calls it his “FieldGuide,” and it’s his homemade textbook onvampires and other supes. You wouldn’t believewhat he’s got in here. I read it twice, and if Ihad bodily functions, I probably would havepissed myself laughing both times through. Imade some notes for your enjoyment.You’re welcome, PamTrue Blood: Steve Newlin’s Field Guide to Vampires(And Other Creatures of Satan) • By Gianna Sobol with Michael McMillianThe vampires, werewolves, faeries, and other supernatural creatures that call Bon Temps,Louisiana home aren’t universally accepted around town. Sweet-talking, bible-thumpingSteve Newlin is their self-appointed nemesis. In his demented field guide, Steve hasrecorded all he knows about these Creatures of Satan, and that’s a lot: their strengths,their weaknesses, their bylaws, and, of course, how to kill them. Sadly for Steve—butluckily for True Blood fans everywhere—his journal was stolen by Fangtasia vampires Pamand Eric, who have defaced it in a most disrespectful and snarky manner. A cunninglyproduced facsimile, and a hilarious read, The Field Guide to Vampires is packed withuntold insight into our favorite TV characters, along with photos, letters, postcards, handwrittennotes, and Steve’s own idle doodles in a scrapbook that perfectly captures thetongue-in-cheek camp that makes True Blood the most widely watched show on HBO.Gianna Sobol is an associate producer for True Blood.She lives in Los Angeles.Michael McMillian is an actor, writer, illustrator who currentlyplays Steve Newlin in True Blood.
