I agree,

look I like urban fantasy as much as the next guy.

give me Dresden, Iron Druid, the Hollows, great series, I haven't read the sookie books because I just haven't.

but when I go check the fantasy section of Amazon on my kindle and I have to scroll through Sookie book 241, and stuff that is romance novel crap because they put vampires or werewolves in it. that's bull. that's a romance book not a fantasy book. both are fiction.

Rule of thumb they should follow:

If a book that is fictional is bought mostly by lonely single women in their 40s... that's a romance book and should be filed there.

If a book is bought mostly by teens, and adult men, that's a fantasy/sci-fi.


i'm offended by your notion that women don't love fantasy/sci-fi just as much as men do.



I never said that they don't, I merely said that sci-fi/fantasy is mostly read by teens and adult males.

Lesbians count as men in this equation.

I am embarrassed for Anne Rice, Bram Stoker and all legitimate authors that their names are being dragged to the grounds by this flood of these supposed vampire books.
