They're mostly teen-aged girls who are flocking to the small timber-town of Forks, WA, the town featured in Stephanie Meyer's immensely popular Twilight book series that tells of the dilemma a young girl faces when her family moves to the town and she becomes torn between the affections of two youngsters, one a vampire, the other a werewolf. The economically depressed town, a place Meyer has never visited is enjoying a tourism boom. Since most of the town's "Twilight" tourists are teen-aged girls, should teen-aged boys be afraid, very afraid? With trailer from the upcoming motion picture. Elsewhere on the literary scene, minus tourism, frequent Fortean Times contributor Gordon Rutter is requesting Fortean stories from one of the corners of Merrie Olde England at Request - Newcastle Oddities; and there's a search underway for what modern books of a Fortean nature parents would recommend to their children at Fortean Children's Books.
