Vampires aren't sexy, they are evil beings that needs to be staked, decapitated and burned! |

![]() Is just that I have a hard time with the latest craze that books with a "paranormal" subject seems to be required to have smut in them. |

Then what's left between erotica/porn and mushyness?

What is one person's "smut" is another person's idea of romantic human relations.
![]() ![]() As for predictability, of course they are, that's what you expect when you pick up a romance novel. ![]() Slite, I'm not crazy about the Vampire stuff, either. The thought of someone sucking out my blood, no matter how erotic it may be written, just creeps me out. ![]() |

Vampires have been "sexy" for a while now - however, what was once edgy and new has since become clichéd and annoying.
I've never considered vampires sexual in the least - and books which focus on their sexuality generally leave me cold. I feel the same way about historical romances - western or otherwise - they leave me cold. My partner gobbles them up like candy - she'll read two or three in a weekend. So for me, they're just books that some people like and others don't. They sell well (can't escape the former bookseller mindset) so that's more than enough reason for people to write them. |

Sheridan Le Fanu's 'Carmilla' was pretty sexy; and that was published in 1872.

It works best with just the author's surmane, or the title. |
