‘Twilight’ makes a comeback, but without Team Edward or Team Jacob
“Twilight” fans who declared themselves “Team Edward” or “Team Jacob” will have to rename their allegiance, thanks to nearly 400 pages of bonus content released today from “Twilight” author Stephenie Meyer in honor of the hugely popular book’s 10th anniversary. The new story is told through the eyes of Beau, the male equivalent of “Twilight” star Bella Swan, made famous by Kristen Stewart on the big screen. The 10th anniversary bonus material was supposed to be just “one or two” chapters, Meyer wrote in the book’s foreword, but turned into nearly 400 pages after Meyer says she found the re-imagining of the story “really fast and easy” to write.
I wanted to do something fun for the 10th anniversary, and the publisher wanted like a foreword and I thought, ‘Well, maybe something more interesting.’
Author Stephenie Meyer
The anniversary edition of “Twilight” is in bookstores today, and the twist even extends to the book’s cover. The special edition features the cover of the first “Twilight” book on the front, while the back of the book reveals the special cover for for “Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined.” Though Meyer’s original “Twilight” novel inspired sequels and five blockbuster movies, the author says she believes this will be the only time readers read about Beau.
The further you get in, the more it changes because the personalities get a little bit different, but … it’s just a love story and it doesn’t matter who’s the boy and who’s the girl, it still works out.
Author Stephenie Meyer
