Ten years after Twilight hit book stands, author Stephanie Meyer is celebrating the anniversary with a special edition – where the lead characters’ genders have been reversed. The love story between teenage Bella and vampire Edward became a worldwide hit.
Publisher Little, Brown Books for Young Readers announced a 10th anniversary dual edition with another title Life and Death, which sees the romance reimagined. Bella is now Beau, Edward is Edyth and his love rival Jacob has now become Julie.
“For me, this anniversary is a celebration of the fans, with all of their incredible passion and dedication,” Meyer said in a statement.
The dual publication of Twilight Tenth Anniversary/Life and Death went on sale on Tuesday.
