About this ebook

About three things I was absolutely certain. First, Edwart was most likely my soul mate, maybe. Second, there was a vampire part of him–which I assumed was wildly out of his control–that wanted me dead. And third, I unconditionally, irrevocably, impenetrably, heterogeneously, gynecologically, and disreputably wished he had kissed me.

And thus Belle Goose falls in love with the mysterious and sparkly Edwart Mullen in the Harvard Lampoon’s hilarious send-up of Twilight.

Pale and klutzy, Belle arrives in Switchblade, Oregon looking for adventure, or at least an undead classmate. She soon discovers Edwart, a super-hot computer nerd with zero interest in girls. After witnessing a number of strange events–Edwart leaves his tater tots untouched at lunch! Edwart saves her from a flying snowball!–Belle has a dramatic revelation: Edwart is a vampire. But how can she convince Edwart to bite her and transform her into his eternal bride, especially when he seems to find girls so repulsive?

Complete with romance, danger, insufficient parental guardianship, creepy stalker-like behavior, and a vampire prom, Nightlight is the uproarious tale of a vampire-obsessed girl, looking for love in all the wrong places.

i am a big fan of the twilight books. i read this hoping it would be very funny. it was very funny, but they totally changed the whole story. and they made bella seem very stupid. i think the harvard lampoon should have kept the story somewhat the same. also, this book has gave me a dislike to soem of the characters in twilight. lastly, jacob black was not in this book at all, and me being team jacob, was very dissapointed by this.

I could not finish reading this book. Yeah, I guess it's funny, but it's just immature and stupid. Making fun of Twilight is fun, but this is crap. It's like everything parodying twilight with any real effort and money involved sucks. Like the movie Vampires Suck was absolutely awful. I wish I hadn't wasted my time and money on that or on this. Sure, I laughed out loud at some parts, but all in all, it wasn't worth it. -V

If your looking for humor this is a great read! Set in Switchblade,Oregon,(Otherwise known as Forks,Oregon in Twilight)Belle, a strange, klutzy, vampire obsessed 17 year old, meets Edwart, doing normal things that Belle turns into supernatural vampire stituations. This sarcastic humor is rather hilarious. I did enjoy Twilight when I read it, but this story was rather funny. If you are an extreme Twilight fan, I would suggest not reading this(may be considered offensive to extreme fans)A short read. Hope I could be of sevice to your book reviewing needs!

About the author

The first volume of the Harvard Lampoon appeared in February, 1876. Written by seven undergraduates and modeled on Punch, the British humor magazine, the debut issue took the Harvard campus by storm. United States President Ulysses S. Grant was advised not to read the magazine, as he would be too much "in stitches" to run the government.
