I know I'm being a wet blanket, but I'm really, really sick of vampires. I have only read a couple of teen vampire novels, but that was more than plenty. I don't know where the trend started--Stephenie Meyers perhaps--but it doesn't seem to be slowing down. I was just reading an article about Charlaine Harris, author of the popular Sookie Stackhouse mystery series featuring vampires, and her latest book, Dead and Gone, debuted at No. 1 on the New York Times hardcover fiction best-seller list. Her book Dead Until Dark was made into a movie--sound familiar? I suppose there is money to be made in the vampire genre, but I am really ready for the next trend. Any ideas what that might be?

Even if I wasn't already tired of reading about vampires, I would be tired of people telling me how I SHOULD be reading about vampires. Let's move on, shall we? I personally vote for zombies.
