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.
