Who says vampires are dangerous?

According to history and mythology vampires are supposed to be scary and fearsome and gruesome and anything and everything that is in line with these words. Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer is creating a sort of rage among the masses, with little and not so little girls swooning over the vampires. This series of books by the way has since been banished to my storage space straight after reading for being so damn awful.

Let me tell you a little about these super interesting books without letting you go through the grief of reading these books. The books talk about a supernatural love story between a hungry vampire and a stupid girl. Edward Cullen is a handsome vampire who falls in love with a girl. The girl is a total “duh”, and Cullen nurses all her antics with utmost care and devotion. The first three sets of twilight books are filled with the duh girl hurting herself and the handsome vampire saving her from all her worries. If this wasn’t enough she turns into a vampire in the last part and saves the entire vampire family. Talk about women empowerment!

So, while the duh girl loves the handsome vampire she also loves her best friend who co- incidentally is a werewolf. (And according to Stephanie Meyer’s not so cool history werewolves and vampires are the greatest of enemies.) I totally sympathize with the duh girl who has to decide between two handsome creatures – the vampire who has the ability to keep her cold or the werewolf who has the ability to keep her hot. So, while she is trying to decide between the two creatures she becomes pregnant and gives birth to a creature who is a half human and a half vampire. The half vampire and half human being then becomes the cynosure of all vampire eyes. The werewolf best friend then turns his attention towards the baby instead of the mother and they all live happily ever after.
