In the fall of 2005, the "Twilight" book was released. Being the first in the series, it was met with less than desirable reviews and it took a long time for it to gain a cult following.

There are the obvious things like Edward and his family members are vegetarian vampires and Bella is a human who moves back to Forks to live with her father.
