When it comes to vampires and the horror genre, there is a thin line between fear and admiration. For that matter, the line between Christianity and paganism is even thinner these days.
Is the Stephanie Meyer creation just another harmless story about some teen girl who falls in love with a suave young vampire adolescent vampire? Or is this what it looks like when a society backs itself into the worse forms of paganism while still trying to retain a thin façade of humanistic morality complete with the classy cover? Hard to do when you have all that human blood dripping down your cheeks, Steph!

“ No substitute in Twilight ” Nothing "good" about Twilight, Rose.
Isaiah 5:20 (King James Version)
20Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

“ Great Sermon! ” Conversation with spirits (saying they need human blood to suck!) and frightening dream visitations by spirits are part of occult communication"
Meyer's Inspiration
Scaringly, Meyer's fictional character Edward took on the "terrifying" form of "real" spirit when it leapt from the pages of her saga and communicated with her in a dream. She says she had an additional dream after Twilight was finished when her vampire character Edward came to visit and speak to her. The Edward who visited her in the night told her she'd got it all wrong because he DID drink human blood, and could not "live" on ONLY animal blood as she wrote in the story. She said, “We had this conversation and he was terrifying.”
