Incompatible genres
I popped into Borders last night and discovered that the Fantasy genre section, which is explicitly reserved for books with swords on the cover, was being invaded by books with pretty-boy vampires on the cover. Not just Twilight but endless knockoffs. WTF.
Dear Borders: Books about dragons (etc) and books about vampires, though superficially both members of the speculative fiction family, exist on entirely opposite emotional planes, with polarized prioritization of violence and romance. You might as well combine books about cats and books about eating cats. Stop it.
