Second, there was a vampire part of him—which I assumed was wildly out of his control—that wanted me dead. By far, this parody was the single most comical, entertaining novella I've read in ages. Complete with romance, danger, insufficient parental guardianship, creepy stalker-like behaviour, and a vampire prom, Nightlight is the hysterical tale of a vampire-obsessed girl, looking for love in all the wrong places. Second, there was a vampire part of him-- which I assumed was wildly out of his control--that wanted me dead. We get no kind of love triangle parody at all, which is absolutely absurd to me considering how much of Twilight, as a series, is devoted to that triangle, but how could we when there's not even a Jacob-equivalent character, if you can believe that.

He honestly tried so hard I couldn't have asked for a better piece of humorous fiction even if I had it special ordered! Edwart is a strange character in Nightlight — rather dull and ordinary — but I guess this is intended, to contrast with the beautiful-stunning-gorgeous-handsome Edward in the original novel.

Abstract This thesis will discuss the emerging influence of film review aggregators and their effect on the changing landscape for reviews in the film industry. Specifically, this study will look at the top 150 domestic grossing films of 2010 to empirically study the effects of two specific review aggregators. A time-delayed approach to regression analysis is used to measure the influencing effects of these aggregators in the long run. Subsequently, other factors crucial to predicting film success are also analyzed in the context of sustained earnings.

  • Vampires Suck by Hugh Barlow
    Vampires Suck by Hugh Barlow The little clapboard church sits stiffly in the sun. It's steeple marking time with it's shadow on the sidewalk. It is the last place most people would think to look for a vampire, but I am sure that one is in there. Contrary to popular opinion, there is no such thing as a noble savage. There is also no such thing as a noble vampire. I get angry when I see all the vampire based novels in the science fiction section of my favorite bookstore. “Twilight” has it all wrong. Dealing with vampires is more like the movie “The Lost Boys” than the TV show “Forever Knight.” I ain't no scientist, and I don't have a degree in biology, but I do have some practical experience in dealing with these suckers (pun intended). I discovered my first vampire quite by accident. Actually, it wasn't a human vampire, but was one of the animal variants most people don't realize are related. I have come to find out that the old stories of werewolves and were-cats are actually based on facts. Oh, the stories are twisted and exaggerated all out of proportion, but they are based on fact none the less. I had the misfortune run across one of these critters when I was out deer hunting back home, and the damned thing nearly got me. It seems that it and I were tracking the same prey, and when I shot the deer, the werewolf decided to go for me.

Dr. Martha Stoddard Holmes THESIS COMMITTEE CHAIR Dr. Heidi Breuer II I I,.., I '0 THESIS COMMITTEE MEMBER ~ Dr. Natalie Wilson dtdJk til JfrL 11117/10 THESIS COMMITTEE MEMBER SIGNATURE I DftE 1 Abstract 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.

Peripheral Phenomena: The Colliding Evolution of Darcy and Dracula Abstract In this study, I examine aspects of Jane Austen, vampire fiction, and contemporary culture through the lens of vampire adaptions of Austen's work. Although a study of vampire fiction may seem peripheral to any serious study of Austen's novels, I contend that studying those adaptations is central to understanding Austen in modern culture, as her work is recycled and reapportioned. Vampire fiction's success in today's marketplace and the prevalence of modern vampire adaptions of Austen's work can reveal much about how the two disjointed parties have been united, and what it says about our culture, which so eagerly consumes them together.
