DarkMedia sat down with Charlaine Harris to discuss the end of Sookie’s story, how the publication of Anne Rice’s “Interview With the Vampire” was a groundbreaking moment in the history of vampire fiction, and what it was like to see her characters on screen for the very first time.
There isn’t a whole lot that is new to us, but there was one answer we thought you might find interesting.

In a previous interview, you’ve mentioned how much you like ”unexpected endings”, such as the finale to the HBO series Six Feet Under. If you don’t mind the question, would you say the ending of The Southern Vampire Mysteries will be something your readers aren’t expecting? Do you hope to surprise them with the way it all turns out?
That’s a tricky question, because after so many books in the series my readers have developed widely divergent opinions about what will constitute a surprise. I’m writing the ending I’d always planned, and I’m sure some of them will not expect it.
Hmmm…a surprise? I wonder what she means by that?
