Stephenie Meyer novella due this week….
Stephenie Meyer’s legion of fans are excited about her new Eclipse novella which will be published this week.
On Facebook (by way of MTV) there’s even a Bree Tanner cheat sheet for the book, “The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner.”

According to a piece by Janet Maslin yesterday in the New York Times, the humorist Dave Barry takes some amusing pokes at Meyer’s writing style in his new collection:
“Simply consider that the entire “Twilight” series seems to have been written for the express purpose of giving Mr. Barry the chance to make fun of lousy writing.
“With a feeling of ominous foreboding based on the cliffhanger ending of the last book,” Mr. Barry begins “Fangs of Endearment,” a wall-to-wall riotous parody. Adopting the voice of the series’s dimwitted, verbally maladroit heroine, Mr. Barry comes up with little marvels like “I wondered who it could be and decided to find out by opening the door,” and, “With a feeling of even greater foreboding than usual, I kept walking forward, putting one leg in front of the other in an alternating sequence.” One character has “vampire eyes glowing with redness like two hot eyeball-sized coals.”
