It turns out that Eric still knows he's a vampire but, in other ways, he has reverted to the man he used to be during his Viking days. She takes him home and contacts his colleague, Pam, who agrees to pay Sookie some money to keep Eric safely hidden until the witches are taken care of.

In Dead to the World: Sookie Stackhouse Southern Vampire Mystery #4, however, Eric loses his memories due to a spell cast on him by a coven of witches, and Sookie finds him running in the middle of the road, only half-dressed and behaving wildly. He just did it because having his blood in her helps him keep track of her and creates a bond between the two of them. Once, he tricked her into drinking his blood by pretending he was dying and needed her to suck the bullets out, which was completely untrue. He's always been interested in Sookie, but she's always rejected him because he's so manipulative. In general, Eric is a man of the world and a womanizer. Dead to the World is the fourth book in the Sookie Stackhouse Supernatural Vampire series it's also the book where readers fall in love with the character of Eric who turns into a completely different vampire.
