The “Twilight” series, first published in 2005, is featured by the American Library Association for Banned Books Week, which runs this year from Sept. 25 to Oct. 2.
One of the most popular fictional series of the past five years, “Twilight” has the keen distinction of also being one of the American Library Association’s Ten Most Frequently Challenged Books of 2009. Writing about the supernatural is a surefire way to find your books banned. Fantasy, vampires magic, the supernatural and even science-fiction books are grouped in with Satanism, the occult and witchcraft by those who attempt to have the books removed from library shelves.
Vampires are easy targets for book banning, as the banning of the “Vampire Academy” in Texas proves. Even with its vast popularity and cross-marketing machine (from books to movies, game boards and school supplies), the “Twilight” series by Stephenie Meyer has been challenged and either banned or returned to school library bookshelves.
