In an article by the Telegraph UK, the classic novel by Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights, has quadrupled its sales in the UK thanks to the Twilight effect.

Its publisher, Harper Collins, has reissued the novel last year with a Twilight-inspired cover and a tag-line, “Bella and Edward’s favorite book”. With the reissue, the book has peaked in sales with 2,634 copies in one week and totalled 34,023 during the year according to Nielsen Bookscan.

According to Tesco assistant book buyer Rachel Harcourt,

“It’s fantastic to see teenagers are reading a whole different genre – the classics – as well as fantasy novels because of the popularity of Stephanie Meyer’s books.

“The new sleek black gothic-style covers of Wuthering Heights clearly appeal to lovers of vampire romance stories and are helping them to try out a different read. Anything that encourages teenagers to read good books is welcome as there are so many distractions which prevent today’s youngsters from developing reading as a hobby.”
