...best seller, to know where its secret pulses reside. Just see the movie version and listen to the reactions of the girls in the theater (TIME surveys the fangirls behind the Twilight phenomenon). There's an audible shiver as they first spy the teen vampire Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), his impossibly gorgeous face caked in a mime's pallor, sitting in biology class next to young Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart). When he holds an apple in his hands to present to her - the novel's cover image - the girls emit an awestruck sigh, as if they'd just seen...

They call it OTD: Obsessive Twilight Disorder. My daughter was mobbed when she brought a movie magazine to school. When Robert Pattinson, who plays the vampire hero Edward, was scheduled to sign autographs at a San Francisco mall, police expected about 300 people: they got 10 times that many, including some who had flown in from Hawaii. Fans got trampled; one reportedly had her nose broken. While I realize this all counts...
...screams temporarily died down when fans got their first look at a scene in the movie in which the vampire James (Cam Gigandet) attacks Bella in a ballet studio. Director Catherine Hardwicke confirmed some details about the sound track, including that Pattinson composed a song himself, Bella's Lullaby, and that the English rock band Muse makes an appearance...
