‘Twilight’ Author Stephenie Meyer Rewrites Book For 10th Anniversary

In honor of the 10 year anniversary of her wildly popular “Twilight” novels, Stephenie Meyer announced that the new edition of her first book will include a 400-page bonus feature titled Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined, in which gender swamps the protagonists to provide readers a new perspective of the work.

“I wanted to do something fun for the 10th anniversary and the publisher wanted, like, a foreword and I thought, ‘Well, maybe something more interesting,’” Meyer told “Good Morning America.”

The new version follows a guy named Beau, aka the new Bella Swan. Meyer revealed why she did the gender swamp, saying:

“It’s always bothered me a little bit because anyone surrounded by superheroes is going to be…in distress. We don’t have the powers,” Meyer said. “I thought, ‘What if we switched it around a bit and see how a boy does,’ and, you know, it’s about the same. The further you get in, the more it changes because the personalities get a little bit different, but it starts out very similar and really, it really is the same story because it’s just a love story and it doesn’t matter who’s the boy and who’s the girl, it still works out.”

 The new book is available now.
