It must be Vampire Season.

Last month, Charlaine Harris released Dead in the Family, the tenth novel in Sookie Stackhouse series -- the basis for the series True Blood.

This week, Stephenie Meyer's new Twilight novella, The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner, hits the shelves.

(And that's not to mention my personal favorite, Christopher Moore's Bite Me -- go Team Abby!)

So it's time for the smackdown: Which vamp series do you love most? Tell us: You could win complete copies of both the Twilight and the Sookie Stackhouse series, including both new books!

Just comment to be registered for the drawing, which will take place at noon Pacific on Friday, June 4, 2010. Read the official rules here.

I've only read the Twilight series and have seen the first season of True Blood. So I choose Twilight only because that's the series I've read.

I love Stephanie's style of writing. I actually read HOST before the Twilight series came out and feel in love with her. I want to know where she gets her inspiration !!

I've been wanting to read the Sookie Stackhouse series forever, but live in Paris and have no money to spend on books -- and it's harder to find used copies here! I adore the show True Blood, and would like to read the original inspiration for the series.

If I were 13, though, I'd probably like Twilight. At 42? Sookie rocks. :)

I love Sookie Stackhouse and True Blood. I have seen the Twilight movies but have never read the books. I would love to see what all the fuss is about! I didn't think the movies were that great!

Sookie Stackhouse!

Sookie, of course. I like Twilight and have seen the movies and read the books, but they just don't compare to Sookie's world. Now, if I were a teenage girl, I would pick Twilight probably. But since I no longer inhabit that world of drama, I'll go with Sookie. And Eric is so hot. :)

Right now it's Twilight. Maybe if I got to read True Blood it would change.

I choose the Twilight series because I have not read any of the Sookie books. I am intrigued to however, so this may be the start of a new, beautiful relationship. I enjoyed the Twilight series because they were an easy read and I got through them quickly with little thought.

i've read both series and i liked true blood more.

I like Twilight better because I read the whole series. I love Sookie but I've only ever watched True Blood.

Swtlilchick 5 pts

I have to admit I love the Twilight series and
Stephenie Meyer's writing is amazing.I got my
daughter hooked and she has read every book.We
have bought tickets to see Eclipse premiere.
I think the reason we love it so much is because it is more of a love story than anything else.Thanks for the giveaway.

I have never had the chance to read the "true blood" books. Gah I am so torn. True blood is my favorite show but twilight is my favorite series. I am split down the middle. They are both great for their own reasons. I am going to have to go with true blood because tonight I am feeling a bit frisky! ;)

darcybel 5 pts

My daughters love Twilight--I'm all about True blood!!! I would love to read the Sookie Stackhouse books!

Lvpierson 5 pts

If I had to choose between the two I would pick True Blood cause Twilight just doesn't have any grit and it's very unrealistic...HOWEVER, if I'm gonna be honest I would say my fave of all time is The Vampire Diaries!

kerri69 5 pts

My favorite would be true blood but I do love twilight its hard to decide

xbeautifulcoma 5 pts

I've read one twilight book, but have heard true blood is way better. So i'll have to choose true blood :)

jayfr 5 pts

I'll pick Twilight between the 2, although I'd pick Christopher Moore tops. The Twilight movies really have a unique feel.

Jujubee782 5 pts

I absolutely love the Twilight Saga and I've heard such great thinks about True Blood! Thanks for a great giveaway.

I actually haven't read any vampire books....maybe it's time to start!

mrscamerahappy 5 pts

I've read a few of the Sookie Stackhouse books and would like to finish the rest. That being said, I've read the full Twilight series, and love them to pieces! I would definitely have to vote for Twilight between the two!

We do however need a Buffy resurgence I think! :)

I love Twilight, I have never read the other so I am not sure how it would stack up against it. thanks for the chance to win eaglesforjack@gmail.com

I read the Twilight Series and am now reading the Sookie Stackhouse Series. I'm on the fourth one and I can't put them down.I like them the best, maybe because they are not YA books like the Twilight books are. If I won these I would keep them like treasures, since my current sets are used books.

amomstake 5 pts

I actually haven't read either.. but I liked the twilight movies alright and I liked "the host" by stephanie meyer... so I'm voting twilight!

luckycat1818 5 pts

I am addicted to True Blood and cannot wait for the next season to start. I just love all of the characters. I have always loved every show or movie with a vampire theme, but I am having a hard time getting in to the Twilight series. I find them a little too brooding and depressing.

I have never read any of the twilight or true blood books but have seen all of the twilight movies and true blood seasons so far. I love them both. If I had to choose which one I would prefer it would be True Blood.

I am a twilight series lover, but I haven't read the other, so who knows?!

mjaj74 5 pts

But I pretty much like them all. Except Twilight. I tried to like it. I really did. But the writing wasn't very good, and the story wasn't very good, either... But Sookie? Love her. Anita Blake? Love her too. Well, up until it all turned into a dirty orgy with vampires and wolves and cats, oh my.

parkerozgood 5 pts

I have read 4 of the Sookie books and I just finished Season 1 of True Blood. I love that it is a little more gritty and grown up than Twilight. While Twilight is awesome in its own right, it doesn't always hold my attention like the Sookie Stackhouse series!

Buffy is what really introduced me to the vampire genre but Twilight got me reading vampire books. I hated the movie and couldn't get into True Blood either. HBO shows must be too dark and graphic for me. But I do think I prefer the Sookie books to Twilight.

CadyncesMom 5 pts

I like both of them, but if I had to pick it would be the Sookie Series - I am in love with True Blood it's like my fav show!!!

mommyto 5 pts

I would go with True Blood. I really really enjoyed the Twilight books and the movies but they are for the younger crowd. I haven't read any of the True Blood books but I love the show. It's definitely more for grown ups. lol
