The Original Haus of Ron Abuse

Ah, you're thinking of the horror-genre implications while I was thinking of the romance-genre implications -- yours is more "what if these monsters were real" and mine is "what societal fears are these monsters externalizing", am I reading you correctly?

Have you read stoney321's analysis of how the sparklepires and the entire plot of Twilight reflect a thoroughly Mormon worldview? SMeyer might not have done it consciously or deliberately, but it permeates the work nonetheless. Stoney was raised Mormon. She knows whereof she speaks.
