asimplechordLaurell K. Hamilton, author of the Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter books, has her own thoughts on the Twilight phenomenon. “Stephenie Meyer has come and she’s taken the genre that I sort of pioneered.[...]"
Um. Seriously? She pioneered? Because Le Fanu didn't create Carmilla, a seductive creature of the night, back in the mid-19th century? Obviously Stoker's Dracula was not an influence either. Or Coleridge's Geraldine, who was likely the basis for Carmilla.
And let's not acknowledge Stephen King's Salem's Lot or Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles.
Let's not point out that Hamilton's grasp of plot, grammar, syntax, and logic are utterly nonexistent.
Uh-huh. Obviously, she created the vampire/supernatural creature genre of literature. OBVSLY.
How can she see around her monstrously huge ego?
