There is not enough LOLOLOLOL in the world for the Twilight ending.

However, while I totally don't think that Meyer really reads Tanith Lee, the part about Nessi aging up super fast totally reminded me of the Scarabae in Tanith Lee's Blood Opera series. Which I need to reread sometime, because my Inner Goth is attached to it. However, in Lee's case, this is actually HORRIFYING and CREEPY, especially because Rachaela's two daughters also hook up (incestuously to boot). Actually, I want someone else to read these books so I can boggle with them over the Fucked Upness of it all. Actually, more than the vampirism, the rampant incest and reincarnation is the creepier part. Hmm. Actually, is that kind of Lee's way of saying "god, you know, everyone has written about vampires, even me, so actually this is going to be more about vampires as secret immortal repetitive incestuous aristocrats who are possibly a plague from the Bible and also vaguely Jewish themes of exile etc, rather than 'ooooh they drink blood!'"
