Stephenie Meyer successfully inspired a Twilight Renaissance when she released of Life and Death (2015) for the ten year anniversary of Twilight (2005). Since then, a bunch of Twihards armed with the internet started psychoanalyzing her characters and critically obsessing over her books. A second wave of the Twilight Renaissance was born with the release of Midnight Sun (2020).
That’s where I come in. Who is more dangerous in the Stephenie Meyer worldview: men or vampires? And how does Bella Swan survive someone who is both?

The Lion and the Lamb
This week I’m looking at the wide scope of vampire lore to help define what makes a Twilight vampire different from vampires of the past and what traits are assigned to them based on toxic masculinity, rather than the expected traits innate to vampire DNA.
-
A Saga About Sex
A solid Twilight-themed look at why age inappropriate sex scenes aren’t the worst thing that a kid can read in a romance novel.

Broken Treaties
Violating boundaries is part of being a vampire… it is also part of being an author. This week I look at which lines are crossed in the Twilight saga, including the border of the Quileute reservation and the Mason-Dixon line.

Enlightening
I’m a big twilight gal and always have been team Edward, but Susie gave me some insight that made me think of it differently. It’s incredibly thorough and engaging. It’s obvious she has spent a lot of time researching and brainstorming because it sounds like an academic peer reviewed paper she’s really intelligent. I will continue to stan!!
great
ok, so far i’ve only listened to the intro, but i already love it.
Better than New Moon(movie)
Very thoughtful and entertaining.
