In my case (as I am sure that
@Wyrme and
@Palanto can attest) my vampire novel "Ebon Knights: Knight's Fall" is both Fantasy/Sci-fi in classification; just like "Wicked Choices" which is a combination of a whole slew of genres.
But for many other authors versions, yeah... its classified incorrectly... many of them stuffed in sci-fi or romance sections, when really, they belong in the "pulp" section... ugh... I've read a few of them from over my wife's shoulder and I've cringed at what I've read...
Don't get me wrong, there have been some exceptions that I found mildly interesting in my brief "over the shoulder" reading (when not distracted from the down the blouse glimpses at my wife's breasts... WHAT??? I AM STILL A GUY!!), but they really are far and few between.
Sparkly vampires... oh PLEASE dear god, kill me!!!
I remember the wife asking if I wanted to go with her, her mom, her aunt and sister-in-law to go and see the second abomination of the movie "Twilight" and I asked her: "Why?? I already know what is going to happen, it is going to be two hours of the chick trying to decide who she is going to love, leading them both on and breaking one of their hearts... why the fuck do I want to see that??"
And guess what? I was right about the damn thing... apparently, that was pretty much what that two hour movie was all about.
NOPE... not for me!!
My vamps don't sparkle. They kill, they feed, they run businesses, they have sex and they kill... sure, they may love, but they sure as fuck don't sparkle!!!!
PS:
@Wyrme Stained and Rush!! Great to wake up to this morning!! And very, very fitting songs!
