vampire clan
Why are paranormal romances so popular these days?
The release of the movie, Underworld, starring Kate Beckinsale, about a romance between a vampire and a werewolf has publishers scrambling for manuscripts dealing with paranormal romances[phpbay] Unlike historical romances or classic romances, this genre is a lot more imaginative[phpbay] Typically, there would be fantasy elements in the story[phpbay] Either the setting is futuristic, or in some fantasy world or the hero, the heroine or both are not normal people[phpbay]
Take underworld for instance[phpbay] You have a Romeo and Juliet love story[phpbay] This time, the setting is paranormal[phpbay] Romeo comes from the werewolf clan while Juliet is from the vampire clan[phpbay] Unlike a helpless Juliet, you have one who kicks butt, shoots down the enemy and saves the hero[phpbay]
I thoroughly enjoyed the first Underworld movie and had to see the sequel, Underworld Evolution[phpbay] There, the story of the vampire and werewolf lovers continue[phpbay]
Though paranormal romance seems like a recently hot subgenre, this genre has been around for ages[phpbay] Take Buffy the Vampire slayer and Spike, her vampire boyfriend[phpbay] Or go back even further in time to Dracula, the king of all vampire stories[phpbay] In the original, Dracula had seduced three women and bit them, turning them into vampires[phpbay] More horror than romance, it could also be considered the grand daddy of this subgenre[phpbay]
While the classic romances might cast the heroine as the damsel in distress, waiting to be rescued by her knight in shining armour, modern day paranormal romances (and a number of other modern day romance tales) feature stronger heroines[phpbay]
In Warrior Girl, the first book in the sfxfantasy series, the heroine, though captured by the enemy escapes on her own[phpbay] Instead of sweeping her off her feet to safety, the hero, just hovers around invisibly, watching her escape with the intention of testing her mettle[phpbay] His intention is not to seduce her but to recruit her as a warrior[phpbay]
From there, as the feelings between the pair develop, you'll have a paranormal romance set in a fantasy world that breaks many of the rules in traditional romance novels[phpbay]
Romances, paranormal or not appeal to the human heart[phpbay] The happy ever after ending, like the fairy tales we grew up on, though may not come true in real life, happens in the world of romance novels[phpbay] Paranormal romance stories extend on that, with the thrill of a fantasy world, a futuristic setting or with people with superhuman abilities, creating a story that thrill the heart and imagination of the reader[phpbay]
