Stephenie Meyer Reveals Details About New 'Twilight' Novella

We have great news, Stephenie Meyer fans! in addition to the recent 'Twilight' graphic novel release, there's more to celebrate:

The author has announced she is publishing a new book called "The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner," due in bookstores June 5 and available for free at BreeTanner.com from June 7 to July 5.

Meyer writes on her Web site:

"I was thinking a lot about the newborns, imagining their side of the story, and one thing led to another. I started writing from Bree's perspective about those final days, and what it was like to be a newborn.

The novella will act as something of a companion piece for the "Twilight Saga: Eclipse" film. But it begs the question: Who exactly is Bree Tanner?

MTV News recently published a handy cheat sheet, with some juicy details:

An "Eclipse" Exclusive:
If you've only been watching the "Twilight" movies or read the first two books, don't be shocked that you have no idea who Bree Tanner is. In fact, don't be upset if you read "Eclipse" and still have no idea who she is. Tanner is a character introduced a startlingly short amount of time before she dies in "Eclipse" and could be considered (to everyone except Stephenie Meyer) to be a throwaway character.

A Short Life:
Tanner is only introduced 10 pages before she is killed off in Victoria's war against the Cullens and the Quileute werewolf tribe. However, of all the newborn vampires discussed in "Eclipse," Tanner was one of the few to be named and introduced to the readers. Unfortunately, it didn't take very long after she was turned into a vampire for her to meet her end ... again.

Dramatic Death Scene:
It turns out Tanner isn't the best newborn vampire among them all, and she isn't a big fan of killing innocents and drinking their blood. She tries to join forces with the Cullen clan and adapt to their "vegetarian vampire" lifestyle, but ends up being killed by Felix on the orders of Jane, a member of the Volturi guard (played by Dakota Fanning in the film), in the final battle.
