Although they did NOT mention Twilight at all, which was rather a relief.
While it is a relief, it strikes me as a bit, well, incomplete. Even if you don't like Twilight it does have a horrifically popular presence and shows how flexible the whole vampire appeal is. Though I guess as its primary audience is female then maybe it is not considered important enough for discussion.
(What I do find amusing is the amount of people who keep thinking that if only Twilight fans could be introduced to X vampire story they'd realise how crappy it. Sorry, I don't think it quite works like that.)
