Free True Blood Audiobook For SFX Readers

SFX teams up with Audible.co.uk to offer free download of True Blood audiobook Dead Until Dark

Unless you’ve been tucked away underground for the last three years, you’ll have been bitten by True Blood , following the life of Sookie Stackhouse and the town of Bon Temps – a place where vampires have “come out of the coffin” and walk among us.

SFX has joined forces with the UK’s biggest retailer of digital audiobooks, Audible.co.uk , to offer a free download of the first of Charlaine Harris’s True Blood books, courtesy of Gollancz, an Orion imprint.

Dead Until Dark introduces waitress Sookie, as she explains why some folks think she’s a little...odd. Drawn to vampires for reasons which become quickly evident, Sookie finds herself embroiled in a world whose rules she doesn’t understand. To survive and protect those dear to her she must use her guile, inimitable fighting spirit and peculiar powers...

Once downloaded, you can listen to your audiobook on all iPods, iPhones and iPads, compatible MP3 players and even some Sat Navs. And if you’d prefer to sit in a darkened room by the fire with only a stake and some garlic for company, then you could always burn it to a CD and listen on your stereo.

If you like what you hear and want to try more in the series, why not take advantage of our special offer for SFX readers – half-price Audible membership! For only £3.99 a month for your first three months of membership, you could get other True Blood titles like Living Dead In Dallas (usual RRP £10.49). That’s a saving of £6.50!
