The Eclipse

April 18th, 2010

The Eclipse is not the next book in the Twilight series to come to the silver screen - that’s not till summer. This may be disappointing to some but still there’s no shortage of nifty creep outs in this ghost story with the title ironically culled from a novel within the story. That book dedicated to the supernatural is authored by the charming Iben Hjejle (Lena Morelle). She’s accepted a spe ...
