Drops of Blood: HBO Launches True Blood Mini-Episodes in May

True Blood might not return until June but HBO is making sure that the hungry have more than a few drops of blood in the meantime.

The pay cabler yesterday announced that it will launch six True Blood mini-episodes beginning May 2nd. Furthermore, these short-run installments are not based on footage from last year's Season Two but are in fact brand-new and written by series creator/executive producer Alan Ball himself.

A trailer for the mini-episodes can be found below and, honestly, I can say that it's more than stirred my appetite.

If that's not enough, you can also sink your teeth intothe five teasers that HBO has so far released for the third season of True Blood, coming June 13th.
