I took advantage of my day off and went up town today. I went in Borders and found this -



Since when has paranormal romance been a literary genre?! You can see the Romance section just behind it. There's a Sci-Fi/Horror section to the right and now we have freaking PARANORMAL ROMANCE???!!!

Okay. This shit has gone far enough now.

Dark, brooding, tortured vampires = SEXY but HORROR.

Vampires that seduce humans in order to drink their blood and each other just for fun = SEXY but HORROR.

Murderous, psychotic, blood guzzling monster vampires = HORROR (but SEXY).

Vampires that sparkle and dazzle and girls that would need a personality just to be classed as Mary Sues = DO. NOT. WANT.

Paranormal romance? We'll have Mills & Boon does vampires next.

Well, that's pretty dumb. But you know what's worse? Book stores with a total lack of genre definition on fiction.

Most store I've seen have:
Sci-Fi
"Fiction".

Then 20 genres for non-fiction.
