The Twilight Saga Lives On.

Hey there.

In case you're wondering about the title of this post, let me enlighten you.

Unless you're living under a rock, you'd have to be a vegetable not to notice that whirlwind of vampire craze that has enclosed pop culture in it's grasp for the past couple of years. While Twilight was quite obviously one of the most popular forms of getting vampire high for a while, there's also True Blood and The Vampire Diaries, two prominent television series, as well as countless other novels set in a world festering with the un-dead.

But as our good friend Isaac Newton taught us, what goes up must come down. ( Or, the universal law of gravitation. )
If you have any faith at all in the scientific method, you'd probably agree with Mr.Newton. And in that case, you might think that, after hitting it's peak, it was time for the era of eternal dark-dwellers to gracefully retreat into their coffins.

Think Again.

I really cannot count the number of people I came across during my bookworm interviews who either had read, or were reading, any one of Stephenie Meyer's vampire/forbidden love novels in the Twilight Saga.
So, in case you were losing sleep over the thought that the fanged phenoms were going downhill, fear not.
It seems our thirst for the blood-thirsty is unquenchable, and our hunger for the power-hungery insatiable.

I actually read the first two books in the series, and while i didn't find them very well-written, they were quite addictive. But in a twisted, cocain addiction way rather than an addictive chocolate way.
A lot of it consisted of  going into great detail about how hot the vampires were; how Edward's chest glittered and his eyes smoldered.
It would get you all stirred up and then at the last second, remind you he was unattainable.
(Which of course only makes you want him more..)
I suppose what makes me really wary of them as an entirety is that, when shed in certain lights, the books could definitely be just some kinky dream the author had, now distributed to young girls and boys around the world.
But maybe I'm thinking too far into it.
After all, i did continue on to the sequel even after witnessing the perplexing, if not disturbing ways Meyer portrays Edward Cullen and his fellow vampires.There must have been something that lured me in.

Or maybe i'm just as weak as the next person, corrupted by shiny chested guys from ancient centuries.
