Patrons are greeted at the entrance by a vampire at a lectern who takes the cover charge and shows them to their seats, and there are also stools at the bar. Spread around the main area are a number of placards with rules and warnings, such as NO BITING ON PREMISES, CONDUCT YOUR PERSONAL BUSINESS ELSEWHERE, and YOUR PATRONAGE IS APPRECIATED. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK. There is an area for a band and a gift shop for souvenirs, including T-shirts and the Fangtasia calendars. The bar is open six nights a week, Tuesday through Sunday, from six p.m. on, although the vampires do not appear until after full dark. Along with the area vampires, Fangtasia has a number of human employees who are covered by a group health insurance policy.

The club hosts a rare concert by Bubba, given to lure Victor Madden and his crew to their deaths. (DUD, LDID, DTTW, DN, DAAD, ATD, DAG, DITF, DR; mentioned CD, DD, L, FDTW, TB)

Fant, Octavia (witch): Amelia’s witch mentor and head of her coven, Octavia can look and behave like a sweet, elderly African American grandmother when she chooses. She lost everything in Hurricane Katrina and is staying with her niece in nearby Monroe when she finally finds her student at Sookie’s house. Amelia’s coven is upset because Amelia used transformational magic when she accidentally turned Bob Jessup into a cat and has been unable to turn him back. Octavia herself apparently fails in her attempts to return Bob to human form. Although disapproving, Octavia helps Amelia perform an ectoplasmic reconstruction to find the murderer of Maria-Star Cooper. The two witches work together again to rid Tanya Grissom of Sandra Pelt’s influence so that she will stop causing trouble for Sookie and for Jason and Crystal, and Sookie invites Octavia to move in as a favor to Amelia. Octavia finally changes Bob back, admitting that her first attempts failed on purpose and that she left him that way so Amelia and Sookie would need her and allow her to stay. Octavia is eventually found by her boyfriend, Louis Chambers, a powerful man in his own right, who has been looking for her since Katrina. He comes to Bon Temps to take Octavia home with him to New Orleans. (FDTW, DAG; mentioned ATD, DITF, DR)
