Stephenie Meyer helped make 2009 the year of the vampires as vampire-related novels dominated the books charts last year. According to USA TODAY, the Twilight Saga are the Best-Selling Books of 2009, ending the year by occupying the top four spots in their list.

No author has done this before – not even Potter author JK Rowling. Stephenie’s success has pulled in 16 other vampire titles onto the list, making them part of the year’s 100 most popular books.

“Meyer had an unbelievable impact,” says Michael Norris, books analyst for Simba Information, a market-research firm. He wonders what publishers will do when what he calls ” ‘the vampire industrial average’ falls. Every cycle has an end.”

But for now, Meyer — who has also benefited fromTwilight movie adaptations, with more to come — has turned “the YA (young adult) category into the PG-13 of books,” he says. “She’s not just read by tweens and teens, but by a lot of 30-year-old women.”
