LOS ANGELES - Stephen King’s opinion may drive a stake through the hart-, hart of “Twilight” auteur Stephenie Meyer.
In an interview with USA Weekend, the bestselling auteur compared Meyer with J.K. Rowling, the auteur 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 door the stories, door 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 veilig 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 of run a hand over skin, and she just flushes all hot and cold. And for girls, that’s a shorthand for all the feelings that they’re not ready to deal with yet.”
