Bracing for "Twilight"
Fans of Stephenie Meyer's vampire novels will be rushing to their newsstands this weekend: Entertainment Weekly has the leads of Twilight, Bella and Edward (or actors Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattison, who play them in the movie coming in December), on the cover - and an profile of the author inside.

The profile recounts how Meyer, a Mormon housewife in Phoenix, went to being - in the minds of publishers, anyway - the second coming of J.K. Rowling with her vampires-in-love novels. (The fourth one, Breaking Dawn, hits stores on Aug. 2 - and EW has the opening pages.)

There's also an extended description of Meyer's recent book-tour stop in Salt Lake City for her non-vampire novel The Host. The article describes the rabid nature of Meyer's fans, and that there are some questions about her characters Meyers prefers not to answer - namely, "If vampires go nuts for the smell of blood, what does Bella do when she has her period? 'Gross,' says Meyer."

TMI, people.
