Oooookay, let me state that as a writer myself, I do not understand what goes through these authors' heads. For one thing, what are they hoping to achieve? Twilight did it: it told a story and then was never heard from again (technically, Miss Meyer's working on a second version of Twilight now, all told from Edward's point of view--but that's beside the point). To go any further into this genre is to gut it and remove what dignity Dracula has left. You want a vampire story with REAL vampires? Read Dracula. (Another side note: that's what I bought at B&N: Dracula.) There's a real villain with a real plan and real stuff going down.
It just strikes me as odd that these silly Twilight clingers-on are still around, still writing filth. The Dracula I bought has footnotes explaining what hundred-letter-words mean. You won't learn a single new word in Teen Paranormal Romance, unless its a four-letter one.
I'm not even sure what I was trying to prove with this post. I guess Dracula is more of a thriller or a horror novel, but I'm still miffed at bad authors for making vampires seem like wusses. That certainly was not the intention of Bram Stoker.
I just blew my own mind. What will this new Twilight book be? I mean, it's not a prologue or an epilogue, as it runs right alongside Twilight itself. Maybe it's a sideogue. Runalongogue. Othersideofthestoryogue.
I might as well confess that I can't take Dracula seriously at all because the great vampire himself has a white handlebar mustache.
