The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner: An Eclipse Novella

The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner: An Eclipse Novella will be released at 12:01 a.m. June 5.

The 192-page story, an offshoot of the third novel in Meyer’s best-selling teen vampire Twilight saga, has a first printing of 1.5 million. It’s the first new Twilight title since Breaking Dawn, Book 4, was published two years ago.

The new novella is told in the voice of the teenage Bree, a “newborn vampire” whom we meet on page 569 in Eclipse. Ten pages later, she’s dead.

“I started writing this a long time ago,” Meyer said in an exclusive interview with USA TODAY. “It was when I was editing Eclipse. It was more of just an exercise so I could be clear about what was going on in the story.”

The Twilight novels are told from the perspective of Bella, who falls in love with the vampire Edward Cullen.

“There’s only so much stuff you can tell when what Bella sees and hears is all you can tell,” Meyer says.

Bree is part of an army of newborn vampires created by Cullen family nemesis Victoria. Thirsty for revenge after the Cullens kill her vampire lover James, Victoria’s plan is to use her army to kill the Cullens and Bella.

“The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner is pretty much contained in the last week of the newborns’ existence before the big fight (between the Cullens and the vampire army) in the meadow in Eclipse,” Meyer says. “It’s the last week before Bree dies.”

In the novella, Meyer says, Bree has been a vampire for about three months. No other details are being released.

But some plot points from the novella have made their way into the Eclipse film, starring Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, which opens June 30. Meyer gave David Slade, the film’s director, a draft to read during production. The character of Bree is played by Canadian actress Jodelle Ferland.

Fans have speculated that the next Twilight title would be Midnight Sun, the story of Twilight told in Edward Cullen’s voice.

“I think they’re all waiting for Midnight Sun,” says Meyer, who put Sun on hold indefinitely in 2008 when a draft was posted on the Internet without her permission and went viral. “But I’m not writing about vampires right now.”

Who is as excited as me to find out we’re getting a Twi-Universe novella?



Team-Twilight has posted about the possibility of seeing a Red-Eyed Edward in Eclipse.

Taken from Twilight Examiner:

Team Twilight caught onto the fact that the clip featured a flash of Edward Cullen with red eyes. A closer inspection of the image reveals that he is not only red-eyed but also apparently wearing a Volturi crest necklace much like those worn in New Moon by Michael Sheen, Jamie Campbell Bower, et al.

A commentator to the blog scoured the book to find that there is a sequence in the story on Page 305 that might explain the origin of the moment.

“In Aro’s head he saw me at his one side and Alice at his other,” Edward Cullen says.

It may be a flash imagination of the thought like we saw in New Moon with Alice’s “vision” of Bella as a vampire. Though, Michael Sheen (who portrays Aro) isn’t listed on any Eclipse cast list that I’ve seen . . . It’s still entirely possible that the scene went through without him here. Only time will tell.

Still very interesting, no?

Also to add some LULZ into this post, because that’s we are here for.

Todo Twilight Saga posted this cap of Carlisle and Esme, presumably at Forks High graduation.  Click the image to view the whole image.

Is it me or does it look like Carlisle has a ponytail in this photo? HAHA.
HMM….. Just pointing that out.

I stumbled across this in my search for LULZY content for this website.
I read through all of Cleolinda’s Recaps of the Twilight Saga..and let me tell you. UNBELIEVABLE. So Amazing & Hilarious!
My favorites are Midnight Sun and then Breaking Dawn.

Twilight
New Moon
Eclipse
Breaking Dawn
Midnight Sun

Also, don’t forget to check out her Twilight Wiki, that explains some of the terms and other things that she has to say in her Recaps.

Enjoy!

LDS Sparkledammerung IS HERE!
The Secrets of the Sparkle a.k.a. TWILIGHT: STONIFIED (Image heavy)

The Secrets of the Sparkle a.k.a. TWILIGHT: STONIFIED (For real this time.)

So here’s the thing. I was going to be all whipping out the smart essay, pointing out all the subconscious LDS meta that SMeyers jammed in these books, showing how I thought she didn’t even realize what she was borrowing (because honestly, I just don’t think she’s smart enough to lay it out there, you know?) But here’s the thing:

THE BOOKS ARE REALLY REALLY DUMB. Like, “Strategery” dumb. (That’s a Dubya quote.) So I’m giving back at the same reading-comprehension level if you will. And you will. There’s so much dumb, in fact, that it will take a few posts to get it all out there. So here’s the first book and change.

Hold on, hold on, I need to keep setting the tone:

“Is there anything more beautiful than a beautiful, beautiful flamingo, flying across in front of a beautiful, beautiful sunset? And he’s carrying a beautiful rose in his beak, and also he’s carrying a very beautiful painting with his feet. And also, you’re drunk.” ~Jack Handy.

There is heavy word abuse in the book, so I’m trying to spare you that. They are “beautiful,” “perfect,” “chagrin,” and the one I wanted to scream every time I read it, “UGH.” Because cop fathers would clearly say repeatedly, “Ugh.” On with the show!

Stephenie Meyers (who claims that her name is spelled weird. [ETA: *I* spelled it wrong, but my point stands. One letter don't make it weird in that neck of the woods. Carry on! *G*] Um, only in Utah, lady. Which, here is an example of some typical Mormon/Utah names, all people that I KNOW:

• Jannilyn
• Randilynn (guess what her dad’s name is?)
• Faunette
• LaVonne
• Mohonri Morianchimer
• Aereign <– good fucking hell.)
