Twilight (novel)
Twilight is the first in a series of YA novels, and eventually movies based on the novels, by Stephenie Meyer. The novels center around the romance between a high school girl (Bella Swan) and a vampire, Edward Cullen, much older than she is but with a high school appearance.
The books and movies have a substantial fanbase, particularly among young women and girls. They have, nevertheless, received significant critique for their gender politics. In particular, critiques have focused on the lack of strength of the female protagonist, Bella, and on the troublingly stalker-ish relationship between Bella and Edward.
