In Stephenie Meyers’ new version of ‘Twilight,’ Bella is a boy (and Edward is Edythe)

Bella and Edward, meet Beau and Edythe.

Stephenie Meyer, the author of the world’s favorite sparkly vampire book series, has released a 10th anniversary edition of her blockbuster “Twilight” that includes a version of the novel with the main characters’ genders swapped.

“Twilight: Special Tenth Anniversary Edition/Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined” is being released Tuesday. Publisher Little, Brown describes the tome as an “oversize, jacketed hardcover ‘flip book’” with almost 400 pages of new content. It’s also available in electronic and audio versions.

The original “Twilight” became a huge hit upon its release in 2005. The story of a teenage girl who falls in love with a young vampire spawned three sequels, which have together sold more than 150 million copies. The books have also been adapted into five hit films starring Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson.

Entertainment Weekly reports that in the foreword to the new book, Meyer says she was moved to write the reimagined version after critics dismissed the character Bella as “a damsel in distress” who was “too consumed with her love interest, as if that’s somehow just a girl thing.”

In a news release, Meyer said, “For me, this anniversary is a celebration of the fans, with all of their incredible passion and dedication. I’m excited to get to spend time with them again.”

Her fans seem eager to spend time with Meyer as well. The new book is currently ranked No. 428 on Amazon, and has already garnered six customer reviews, most of them positive. One reviewer, a bookstore manager, wrote “I’m only half way through, but I’m loving this. The high school me would have died of excitement for this.”

Meyer will mark the release of the book with four appearances this month, including two in Los Angeles. She’ll be at the Barnes and Noble’s at the Grove on Monday and at the Last Bookstore downtown on Oct. 14.
