For any fan of the show that hasn't followed the novels, it's doubtful any of them would have made this guess as the vampire's ultimate end. Bill ends up developing talent as a video game maker, ultimately becoming extremely wealthy off of very violent vampire games that are wildly popular. Charlaine Harris is the 1 New York Times bestselling author of the Sookie Stackhouse and Midnight, Texas, fantasy/mystery series and the Aurora Teagarden, Harper Connelly, and Lily Bard.

In the follow-up to the final novel After Dead, there are brief summaries of each character's fate. This ending is wildly different from the final book in Harris's series where Bill Compton continues on with his vampire life. In the show, Bill Compton voluntarily chooses to meet the true death at the hands of Sookie Stackhouse, who tearfully stakes him in his grave bringing Vampire Bill's undead existence to its end. After 7 seasons, HBO's True Blood came to a close with the series finale "Thank You." As the small screen's portrayal of the Charlaine Harris novels wrapped up, many fans were ultimately left disappointed by the fate of the popular characters.
