It had to happen! An irreverent and clever take on Stephenie Meyer's hugely popular series, guaranteed to make any fan laugh out loud.
For Meyer fans, Meyer detractors and anyone who has seen those movies, its all vampire goths peddling the deadly "emo" drug, werewolves lurking in basements reading copies of Wolf Whistle and New Moan Rising.
Book description
'I want to bite you, Heffa. I want to bite you very hard. I'll be gentle, I promise. If you really loved me, you'd let me'.
Heffa Lump is just a typical, pale and interesting seventeen-year-old, who doubts that anyone will ever see her true beauty. But then she moves to Spatula and meets Teddy Kelledy, an impossibly gorgeous boy who eats rare meat, and is super-strong and never goes out in sunlight.
Could he just may be a vampire? (Hint: totally) A tale of first love, painful longing and even more painful pointy teeth, "New Moan" is a hilarious parody of the phenomenon that is Stephenie Meyer's Twilight saga.
