The fifth season of True Blood premieres in just a couple of weeks, and today HBO released the second trailer for the season; we've embedded it below.
We don't think there has been an official synopsis released, but the storyline this season is expected to loosely follow the fifth book in the series by Charlaine Harris, Dead as a Doornail. (A new paperback tie-in edition of the book was published earlier this week.)
Make plans to catch the fifth season premiere of True Blood on June 10th … or at the very least, remember to set your DVR! (We'll make a note to remind you a day or so ahead of time.)

Second Trailer for True Blood Season 5
Sherlock Wins 2012 BAFTA Supporting Actor Award
The 2012 BAFTA Television Awards were handed out this evening and we are absolutely thrilled that Andrew Scott won the Supporting Actor award for his electrifying performance as James Moriarty in Sherlock. (We had hoped to have our review of the second season up by now, but suffice it to say that the third episode, "The Reichenbach Fall", is made all the more exceptional by Scott's brilliant portrayal of Sherlock's arch-nemesis.)
It is a tad disappointing that this was the only award won by the series. Benedict Cumberbatch — who plays Sherlock Holmes in the series — lost to Dominic West (Appropriate Adult) and Martin Freeman — John Watson — lost to Andrew Scott. The series itself was not even nominated in the Drama category, something we're still having a hard time coming to terms with … and we're here in the US!

Unfaithful Wives by Orrie Hitt
Publisher: Prologue Books
This noir pulp novel, originally published in 1956, was subtitled by its publisher Beacon Books as "A sultry novel of unbridled lust".
About Unfaithful Wives (from the publisher): While her husband was away, Rita Sharpe would play. Sometimes with her stupid but strong gardener. More often with slick Norman Williams. Yet she was no worse than bosomy Sandra Thomas! Sandra slyly cheated with practically every man who came along … not excepting Rita’s own rugged spouse …
His name was Fred, and he was perfectly willing to make the most of a wife—anybody’s wife. He could not foresee that thanks to smooth Norman, the cozy situation would explode into a frenzy of hate and wild brutality. In the end Fred was forced to deny both Rita and Sandra—and gamble his life on the sinful need of still another unfaithful woman!

Serial Killers Incorporated by Andy Remic
Publisher: Anarchy Books
About Serial Killers Incorporated (from the publisher): Meet Callaghan, a hard-drinking, drug-fuelled, womanizing no-good son-of-a-bitch. He's the amoral hardcore photographer for Black & White, the tabloid rag that tells it as it is. Or at least, how it should be.
Callaghan's in way too deep with Mia, his Mexican stripper girlfriend … and even deeper with Sophie, estranged wife to Vladimir "Vodka" Katchevsy, infamous Romanian gun-runner and self-eulogising expert at human problem solving. People start to die. And Callaghan's caught in the middle. A situation even his Porsche GT3, Canary Wharf Penthouse suite and corrupt politician contacts can't solve.
At the nadir of his downward spiral, Callaghan is approached by a man: a serial killer who brings him a very unique and dangerous proposition …

A Darby Stansfield Mystery
Publisher: CreateSpace
This is the third, and most recently published, mystery in this series featuring the telecommunication consultant to the criminal underworld.
About Loco Moco (from the publisher): In need of some serious soul searching, Darby Stansfield and his girlfriend, Izzy Weber, set off for a summer surfing adventure in Hawaii. But what the land of Aloha offers instead, is the same temptations he’s eager to escape—one in particular, the North Beach Boys. Hoping to resist the lure of the local gang, Darby focuses on improving his relationship with Izzy. All is fun in the sun until their beach house is broken into.
From there, the mysterious threats begin to escalate, forcing Darby and Izzy to hire a local private detective. Between the PI working the case and the security improvements made around their place, the ideal summer appears to be back on track. Wrong.
What they don’t realize is that a stranger is watching them and someone is going to die.

Forbidden by Ted Dekker and Tosca Lee
Publisher: Center Street
About Forbidden (from the publisher): Many years have passed since civilization's brush with apocalypse. The world's greatest threats have all been silenced. There is no anger, no hatred, no war. There is only perfect peace … and fear. But a terrible secret has been closely guarded for centuries: Every single soul walking the earth, though in appearance totally normal, is actually dead, long ago genetically stripped of true humanity.
,br>Fleeing pursuit, with only moments to live, a young man named Rom stumbles into possession of a vial of blood and a piece of cryptic writing. When consumed, the blood will bring him back to life. When decoded, the message will lead him on a perilous journey that will require him to abandon everything he has ever known and awaken humanity to the transforming power of true life and love.
But the blood will also resurrect hatred, ambition, and greed.
Set in a terrifying, medieval future, where grim pageantry masks death, this tale of dark desires and staggering stakes peels back the layers of the heart for all who dare to take the ride.
