Harvard Lampoon Publishes Twilight Spoof Novel Nightlight

The Harvard Lampoon used to be known for their scathing parody novels, but they haven’t published one since 1969’s Bored of the Rings.

But even they couldnt resist the Vampire-mania spawned by Twilight, and they strike to the core of the phenom deconstructing Twilight with a tongue in cheek.

Dread Central describes it:

According to the Vintage release, Nightlight follows a “pale and klutzy” girl named Belle Goose, who moves to Switchblade, Oregon, and meets Edwart Mullen, a “super-hot computer nerd with zero interest in girls.” The vampire-obsessed Belle becomes convinced Edwart is one of the undead after witnessing events she considers otherworldly (“Edwart leaves his Tater Tots™ untouched at lunch! Edwart saves her from a flying snowball!”).

Mimickery is the highest form of flattery, and getting spoofed by a reputable source is high praise. While others will revel in the ribbing Twilight will get, this is truly a nod to Meyer’s work.

I think this one will be added to my bookcase!
