- 9 years ago
The author of "Twilight" has a unique way to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the hit vampire romance novel.
Stephenie Meyer has reimagined the blockbuster novel with gender-swapped characters.
She told "Good Morning America" on Tuesday that in the new 442-page "Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined," original hero Edward Cullen is now Edythe, and heroine Bella Swan is a boy named Beaufort .
The wildly successful franchise resulted in more than 150 million books sold and a series of successful films starring Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.
Initially, the book starts out the same, Meyer said, but there are some changes as the reader delves further into the new book because the characters' personalities are slightly different.
