I had listened to some fawning NPR piece about the Twilight book series and felt like venting my spleen on how stupid the whole concept of vampire lit is.
Set aside the fact that the series is based on a girl being madly in love with an animated corpse - the biggest problem I have with vampire-as-beau plotlines is that they attempt to bestow nobility on staying in a relationship with a man who poses a mortal threat to your existence.
Oh...isn't she brave for staying with a flesh-eating monster?
What a colossal crock of sh!t.
But only those who truly know the series can skewer it the way it deserves, so I'll link to the better work of others.
