Josephine’s: Known as Club Dead among the Weres, vampire-owned Josephine’s is located on the outskirts of downtown Jackson, Mississippi, on or near Amite Street. The supes leave their keys in their cars, which then drive away on their own so that the streets in front of the bar are kept deserted. The club is surrounded by an ominous, watchful air; most humans experience a feeling of dread when they approach the door, and if they do get in, they are treated to a costly cover charge, terrible drinks, and poor service. Those who manage to stay soon find themselves on the sidewalk with no memories of leaving the bar.
The doorman and bouncer is Mr. Hob, a goblin, who treats all strangers with suspicion. The interior of Josephine’s looks a lot like any other bar: dim lighting, low music, glasses suspended on racks over a large square bar surrounded by polished bar stools, a small dance floor and stage just to the left of the bar. The club is run as a neutral ground, with specific rules on how both vampires and shifters are to behave: “No Changing on the Premises,” “No Biting of Any Kind,” “No Live Snacks.” Alcide Herveaux escorts Sookie to Club Dead to gather information on Bill’s whereabouts after his kidnapping. During their second visit, Sookie picks up the thoughts of a Fellowship of the Sun member determined to become a martyr and is staked when she confronts the assassin. (CD; mentioned DTTW, DAAD, ATD)

When vampire Luis does run from the club, a bullet from Warren sends him back to Mustapha’s blade.
