Midnight Sun by Stephenie Meyer
Midnight Sun
is an unreleased companion novel to the book Twilight by author
Stephenie Meyer
. Midnight Sun would be the retelling of the events of Twilight, but written from the perspective of Edward Cullen as opposed to that of Bella Swan. Stephenie Meyer has stated that Twilight is the only book from the Twilight series that she plans to rewrite from Edward's perspective. To give them a better feel of Edward's character, Stephenie Meyer allowed Catherine Hardwicke, the director of the film adaptation of Twilight, and Robert Pattinson, the actor playing Edward, to read some completed chapters of the novel Midnight Sun while they filmed the movie. On August 28, 2008,
Stephenie Meyer
halted the writing of Midnight Sun in response to the illegal leak of twelve chapters of the unfinished manuscript on the Internet.
Stephenie Meyer stated, "If I tried to write Midnight Sun now, in my current frame of mind, James would probably win and all the Cullens would die, which wouldn't dovetail too well with the original story. In any case, I feel too sad about what has happened to continue working on Midnight Sun, and so it is on hold indefinitely." Stephenie Meyer made the twelve-chaptered draft available on her website in fairness to her readers, now that the novel has been compromised before its intended publication date. Stephenie Meyer also stated that she doesn't believe the manuscript of Midnight Sun was leaked with any malicious intent, and would not give any names. (Summary by Wikipedia)
