Regardless of whether or not we read fairy tales or horror stories, we are acculturated with the structure, motifs, and moral expectations and lessons that accompany these genres. As the traditions morph over time, society learns and maintains assumptions about the characters and the plots that are featured within both types of stories. In the Twilight saga, Stephenie Meyer creates texts that feature supernatural characters most commonly associated with horror stories; however, the saga's plot structure is easily mapped onto Vladimir Propp's thirty one functions of the fairy tale. By manipulating our expectations of the vampire story and turning it into a fairy tale, Meyer has written her texts to be consumed by a culture that is primed to be receptive of this familiar plot structure, which allows Meyer's moral and cultural themes to infiltrate consumers cultural DNA, and positions the Twilight saga to be what Douglas Rushkoff defines as a media virus. As the virus spreads, questions arise as to how the Twilight saga will infect its audience, particularly the young adult females that make up the primary fan base.

The 13 essays in this volume explore Stephenie Meyer's wildly popular Twilight series in the contexts of literature, religion, fairy tales, film, and the gothic. Several examine Meyer's emphasis on abstinence, considering how, why, and if the author's Mormon faith has influenced the series' worldview. Others look at fan involvement in the Twilight world, focusing on how the series' avid following has led to an economic transformation in Forks, Washington, the real town where the fictional series is set. Other topics include Meyer's use of Quileute shape-shifting legends, Twilight's literary heritage and its frequent references to classic works of literature, and the series' controversial depictions of femininity.

Much of the criticism on Stephenie Meyer's immensely popular 'Twilight' novels has underrated or even disparaged the books while belittling the questionable taste of an audience that many believe is being inculcated with anti-feminist values. Avoiding a repetition of such reductive critiques of the series's purported shortcomings with respect to literary merit and political correctness, this volume adopts a cultural studies framework to explore the range of scholarly concerns awakened by the 'Twilight novels and their filmic adaptations. Contributors examine 'Twilight's debts to its predecessors in young adult, vampire, and romance literature; the problems of cinematic adaptation; issues in fan and critical reception in the United States and Korea; and the relationship between the series and contemporary conceptualizations of feminism, particularly girl culture. Placing the series within a broad tradition of literary history, reception studies, and filmic adaptation, the collection offers scholars the opportunity to engage with the books' importance for studies of popular culture, gender, and young adult literature.
