Forbidden Fruit OR Thirst-Quenching Fantasy?
Much like Harry Potter caught the attention of millions of boys, the Twilight series is holding teenage girls captive with the romance of a human girl and a vampire boy in a story that piques the imagination.
Stephenie Meyer follows a long line of writers who have carried readers into fantasy worlds in ways that confront us with deeply spiritual questions. But what is it that makes the world she's created so enticing?
Grimm's Fairy Tales gave generations of young children a moral compass for proper behavior. J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis created fantasy novels laced with profound Christian truths about the nature of good and evil. What is it about Twilight that keeps people coming back for more?
Written for fans and critics alike, The Twilight Phenomenon reveals why Twilight is so entrancing by asking:
- What is immortality—how is it lost or gained?
- What is the nature of evil?
- Do vampires have souls?
- What sacrifices should be made for love?
- What is the nature of temptation?
