To Love Is To Bury: True Blood, Season One

The HBO drama hit True Blood was the most talked-about show on television when it aired from 2008-2014, and Jacob Clifton at Television Without Pity has been part of that conversation since it started. TO LOVE IS TO BURY is the first of six volumes, collecting Jacob’s popular columns from the show's inaugural Summer 2008 season.

When psychic Sookie Stackhouse meets Vampire Bill, she knows her life will change—just not by how much. It's the first domino in a cascade that snares her brother Jason and her best friends Tara and Sam, putting them through a world of hurt, love, purity and divinity. Serial killers, fangbanging rules, werewolf boyfriend versus vampire boyfriend and more: It all starts here.

Over fifteen years writing and creating communities at Television Without Pity, Jacob Clifton was noted by industry and fans alike for his positive analytical approach and ebullient humor. His weekly columns—on shows ranging from American Idol to The Apprentice, Battlestar Galactica to Gossip Girl, Homeland to Pretty Little Liars and more—set off a decade of conversations across the internet.

Now, with the former site defunct and a Gawker editorship in the rearview, Jacob is excited to release these definitive, heavily revised editions of those classic recaps at jacobclifton.com. Please visit for more info and join the mailing list!
