[info]uldihaa: The 'Anti-Twilight'?

Stephen King's vampire is anit-"Twilight" and evil.

King wouldn't have it any other way.

Sweet, he said in an interview, is the "anti-'Twilight' vampire, the anti-Edward," a "dissolute Kurt Cobain" with a mean streak a mile wide and a sweet tooth for hard candy to match.

But the really exciting thing, for me, was this.

So far, King said, he's hooked and "American Vampire" won't be his last foray into comic books. He's mulling a creator-owned book for Vertigo and possibly another tale about Sweet, too, that he's discussed with Snyder.

I'll admit to being very intrigued as to what he might decide to do.

Reminds me of a book I saw yesterday, in which a geeky kid with a sun allergy notices that girls are super into vampires these days, and decides to fake being one.

Er, reminds me as far as being anti-Twilight, that is.

I read that a few weeks back, and it was as good fun as it sounded. It managed to mock Twilight without mocking the teenage girls who love it and books like it.

So, if Michael J. Fox is the anti-Elvis, who is the anti-Edward Cullnes?
