Midnight Sun was originally going to be the fifth novel in the Twilight series. It was basically a Perspective Flip of the first book, showing Edward's side of the story. Depending on your views regarding the series, this may be either an intriguing character study or a cheap rehash. Either way, however, it was not to be; the manuscript was somehow leaked and the author, Stephanie Meyer, apparently felt so betrayed over the whole thing that she scrapped the project. The manuscript, however, lives on.
A Dramatic Reading has been done by Man Without A Body, which can be found here.
Midnight Sun provides examples of:
- The Atoner - Edward is full of guilt over killing people.
- Yet at the same time ponders killing all the Quileutes, since they all think werewolves are nothing but a myth. His exact phrase is "slaughter the defenseless tribe on the coast." What The Hell, Designated Hero?
- Does This Remind You of Anything? - Intentionally or not, Edward's inner monologue frequently invokes school shooters.
- Another exchange with a school secretary feels alarmingly like the dialogue scene at the beginning of a porno.
- Dramatic Reading - Man Without A Body is currently working on one. It's very silly.
- Emo Teen - Half the cast.
- Lampshade Hanging: On Edward's stalking factor
|
"I’d just admitted to stalking her, and she was smiling." |
