This famous literary twins quiz is sponsored by Temper by Nicky Drayden.

Temper by Nicky DraydenTemper brings a thrilling blend of science fiction, horror, magic, and dark humor from the award-winning author of The Prey of Gods. Auben’s six vices are branded on his arm for all the world to see – marking him as the lesser twin. But he won’t let his vices define him, even as he’s envious of his twin, whose single vice brand is a ticket to a better life, one that likely won’t involve Auben. The twins’ strained relationship threatens to snap when Auben starts hearing voices that speak to his dangerous vices.


I’ve always been fascinated by twins. While going through my old journals recently, I found an unfinished story about conjoined twins, almost certainly based on a combination of the Smashing Pumpkins song “Geek U.S.A.” and the novel Geek Love. I will never share that story with anyone (cue me sharing that story with everyone I know), but I will keep reading stories about twins. Even though I know now that twins are not any more magical than any other variety of character. But oh, there are some literary twins who’ve left an impression…

Have you ever wondered which literary twin pair you’d be part of? I’ve got a quiz for you to find out!
