Full Description
This book is about all of the parts of the Twilight Saga (books and movies) that make up the very complex love/hate relationship that the Twilight fandom has toward Stephenie Meyer, her books, and the subsequent movies. The fandom itself will also be examined as an excellent example of a community grappling with and trying to reclaim problematic media as opposed to "cancelling" it.
