Time is ticking — but fans aren’t sure toward what.
Diehard fans of the “Twilight” saga discovered a trail of mysterious clues on the social media accounts and website of series author Stephenie Meyer this week.
The homepage of the 46-year-old writer’s website has been set to feature a clock counting down until Monday.
The social media links below the clock all go to accounts for Fickle Fish Films, a production company Meyer co-founded, which produced film adaptions of her sci-fi novel “The Host” and the 2013 rom-com “Austenland.” Across those accounts, videos have been posted featuring a starry night sky and a day count to Monday.
The tease has fans weighing in on what project Meyer is hinting at, with many hoping it has something to do with the cult vampire books.
“Everyone’s saying this has something to do with ‘The Host,’ but my little heart is holding the tiniest bit of hope that it might be ‘Twilight’ related,” tweets one fan.
Others hope it has something to do with “Midnight Sun,” a companion novel to “Twilight,” which had 12 chapters leaked in 2008. In response, Meyer stopped writing it and posted a partial draft to her website.
“Me crying and clutching onto the crumbs barely big enough to point to ‘Midnight Sun,’ ” writes one tentative hopeful.
“My brain: ‘The Host”s sequel. My heart: ‘Midnight Sun,’ ” guesses another. “Either way, I’m so excited.”
In other “Twilight”-related news, Robert Pattinson, 33, who portrayed Edward Cullen in the film adaption of the books, revealed that while he’s become a sex symbol, he doesn’t exactly smell like one. In March, the English stud told Allure that “lots of people tell me I smell like a crayon … like I’m embalmed.”
Other highlights of the strange interview included the fact that when he auditioned for “Twilight,” he says he looked like “a baby with a wig on.”
“I had done a job where I’d dyed my hair black,” he explained, “but I had an inch and a half of roots, and I had waxed my body … then I had a few months where I’d been drinking beer all day, so I had this hairless, chubby body.”
