LOS ANGELES - Stephen King’s opinion may drive a stake through the heart of “Twilight” author Stephenie Meyer.
In an interview with USA Weekend, the bestselling author compared Meyer with J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series.
According to Stephen, “Both Rowling and Meyer, they’re speaking directly to young people… The real difference is that Jo Rowling is a terrific writer and Stephenie Meyer can’t write worth a darn. She’s not very good.”
Meeooww!
While Stephen may not be a fan of Stephenie’s writing, he understands the appeal of the series.
“People are attracted by the stories, by the pace, and in the case of Stephenie Meyer, it’s very clear that she’s writing to a whole generation of girls and opening up kind of a safe joining of love and sex in those books. It’s exciting and it’s thrilling and it’s not particularly threatening because it’s not overtly sexual.”
He further explains, “A lot of the physical side of it is conveyed in things like, the vampire will touch her forearm or run a hand over skin, and she just flushes all hot...

OH MY GOD!!! I got this news from a friend telling me to go to stepheniemeyer.com so I did and this is for all of those who don't know yet:
Movie News Flash!
So, many of you have heard that the release of the sixth Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, has been moved from this Thanksgiving to next summer. First and foremost, please know that this schedule change has absolutely nothing to do with Twilight, me, or Summit Films (so enough with the imdb death wishes, okay?). This is Warner Bros. decision, and it was not motivated by anything Twilight-related.
Now for the good news! Though we're all sad to have to wait for Harry Potter, this open spot at the theater creates a cool opportunity. The good people at Summit were thrilled to let me know that now Twilight fans are going to get their movie three weeks earlier than scheduled. That's right—Twilight will be released in theaters November 21st! Let the merry-making commence!

Stephenie Meyer
|
Over the past year, author Stephenie Meyer has been lauded as the next J.K. Rowling thanks to the blockbuster sales of 1.3 million copies of Breaking Dawn, the final installment in her four-book vampire series Twilight. Meyer’s got the same hysterical fans, midnight release parties and movies in the works as the Harry Potter scribe, but there’s a rock & roll side to her work that makes her unique: each book is accompanied by a playlist packed with bands like Muse and Linkin Park, and she’s currently on tour — with Blue October lead singer Justin Furstenfeld.
Meyer tells Rolling Stone she’ll take next year to work on Midnight Sun, a retelling of Twilight from the perspective of her male lead, Edward, that she began after discovering he was misunderstood by readers. Then there’s a possible sequel to her first adult novel, The Host (”Those characters are really hard to put away”), a potential ghost story (”I’m pretty excited about it because I get to make up my own world there”) and even a mermaid tale (”I love the idea, and I love the characters, but I don’t know if I can do it”).
