Stephanie Meyer - The Host

For those who enjoyed previous posts about Stehanie Meyers's Twilight, you'll be pleased to know she's got a new book out for adults called The Host. You can see Stephanie talking about the new launch on the US Borders website here. It's out from 6th May in hardback and available in all the usual places, with a rather intriguing synopsis on the Borders page: "An invading species threatens to control the human race by taking over the minds of the human bodies they inhabit. Melanie staves off Wanderer, the invader of her mind, through conscious resistance and thoughts of the man she loves. A fantastic read, The Host may be the first story ever to feature a love triangle involving only two bodies."

"Ahhh, smug mode"

As Kryton once said. Of course, if you're not a Red Dwarf fan then you won't know what that means and so you should probably leave, go buy a dvd box set, and come back when you've caught up... in about 3 months' time.

Good to see that the Gnu got in ahead of the Times Online in flagging up the new JK Rowling (apparently). Something tells me there are going to be a lot of them...

The new Harry Potter... allegedly..

This film, and the series of books by Stephanie Meyer which spawned it is set to be the next over-hyped teen fantasy obsessesion suggests Wired Magazine today. Revolving doors anyone?

According to Wired, the franchise already boasts a considerable fanbase who "dress up as Twilight characters and turn out in droves for book signings, start Twilight-themed rock bands and even celebrate lead character Isabella Swan's birthday"

Here's the new trailer. I can hear distant sound of parents' bank accounts being drained across the world...
