I weep for our culture. 
Makes me think of a Facebook status I had a few days ago:
That’s good though, keep them away from the other books. Now if only I could filter them out of the Kindle books top 100 on Amazon, or the ebook collection on my library’s website, I could save thousands of hours of inadvertently reading descriptions of vampire books.
:dubious: I googled “Night book” and got links for Wiesel’s book and an Italian composition called “Nightbook.”
Twilight by Elie Weisel
What comes just before night? (Hint: “You are about to enter another dimension . . .” dootdootdootdootdootdootdootdoot . . .)
Anyway, vampires are passe. It’s minotaurs now.
Shoot. I was rooting for mummies. They’re so sexy.
At my local used bookstore it’s called “Urban Fantasy”, and was taking up a sizeable chunk of real estate. Just showed up this year.
As long as they’re reading.
Can we get one that filters out shitty cookie-cutter zombie novels?
I think it’s funny.
Joanna Russ wrote a story about a woman whose family keeps nagging her to find a man and get married, so she hooks up with a vampire.
“Oh, I feel so feminine and helpless when he takes me.”
“But he’s a bloodsucking monster from Hell!”
“Well, you said I should date more. Picky, picky, picky . . .”
Satire can’t keep up with real life.
On reflection, this thread would go better in CS. May I trouble the Mods for a move, please?
Reported request to mods.
Hmm… do we have vampire mods who can move threads without being noticed? 
It’s in CS now.
Moved to Cafe Society from MPSIMS.
And this is more of an MPSIMS observation than a Cafe Society one, but I’d say many of my teen romances could’ve been called paranormal. They were more paranormal than romantic, anyway.
How long till we have a crappy “parody” film of the Twilight movies?
That was nearly 2 years ago.(Spoofs the first 3 twilight movies, though they might have been working more from book #3 and rumors.)
And it was actually not too bad.
