Having just unleashed my novel Nightface on the world, I have been reading even more about the trends of horror fiction. Aside from the normal non-fiction horror and vampire reading I do, and my recreational horror reading, it is a fascinating beast. On one hand, everyone claims they want no sparkly vampires (one of the reasons I submitted to my publisher was their loathing of such) but when I walk down the horror aisle, I am surrounded by love stories.

What do horror fans really want? I know what I want. I write and read what I want... but it is hitting a mark? I adore Edward Lee and am all over David Moody. Splatterpunk and vampires, demons or zombies mix well in my mind. Is this where horror is going, or are we really loving this teen-vamp fang-bang soft-core stuff?

Input?
