Twilight

I recently borrowed Twilight (by Stephenie Meyer of course). Compared to the literature I normally read in the vampire realms, this was definitely toned down (appropriate since it is targeted to teens IMHO). A few new twists from the traditional mythos, or perhaps a return to an earlier version, provide interesting effects. Like many stories, vampires have extraordinary abilities but these ones can live in the sunlight and choose to have a conscience about the feeding. This one will make you think twice about the loners in the lunch room of your youth.
