There is one think I don't like about Twilight is that Stephanie Meyer chooses which pieces of vampire lore she wants to use for her series. She does use the sense that vampires are bloodless and undead. I like that fact about the vampires, but there are some things that don't appear in the series. Vampires BURN in sunlight. THEY DON'T SPARKLE! Vampire lore says a vampire can't enter a private residence without permission, but Edward watches Bella sleep at night before he is ever invited in. Meyers does pull different lore from other cultures, which is really cool. Also the whole baby thing is on a completely different level, but I'll talk about that later. BTW I know that vampirism is fiction, but there is a long history of vampire lore that is classic and is highly desired among hardcore vampire lovers like myself.
