So the whole sparkly thing as a reason for not going in the sunlight? I could dig it. Plus, I have to admit, she wrote it much cooler than it was (or could be) depicted in the movies. And I'm no big fan of Twilight. So long live reinterpretations!Kris Atkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05580456319706723545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3917729637280439180.post-63150990605703632382013-03-21T11:38:57.867-07:002013-03-21T11:38:57.867-07:00I grew up with Dracula and the Stephen King variet...I grew up with Dracula and the Stephen King variety in 'Salem's Lot. But I'm okay with vampires who are pretty or classically monsterish. I like authors who take chances with the tropes, like Rachel Hartman in Seraphina.LinWashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13041832821260168483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3917729637280439180.post-18776802554682151922013-03-19T12:25:54.149-07:002013-03-19T12:25:54.149-07:00I love it!

I just saw another version of Rumpelstiltskin called RUMP, for kids. Of course it explains the bad things he does so he doesn't seem so bad after all. I haven't read it yet, but I want to because it sounds adorbs. That's the beauty of a spectrum. So many colors of light. We can enjoy the whole rainbow or pick a favorite color. :p<br /><br />Great post, as always, Amparo!Katrina L.

(Even historical figures are open to reinterpretation, but only within the limits of known facts.)Jennifer R.

I think changing the monster...LOL. What a change! <br /><br />I think changing the monster would have to depend on what they were. Witches, I'm okay changing, but vampires...not so much. ;)Carolyn Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03780443388339294502noreply@blogger.com
