The last time horror fiction was a thing , during the 1990s , the grocery store flood with terrible trend - follow books , and the inevitable contraction killed or prevent the careers of some talented revulsion - smiths . Now , Jo Fletcher with Jo Fletcher Books omen a unexampled repulsion counter , among other trends , in an interview with SFX :
Horror is make a bit of a counter ; I just trust publishers do n’t do what they did last time : discern the movement and all surge to bring out without actually knowing much about the literary genre . “ YA ” seems to be surge ahead right on now , and that makes me smile a little – of course of instruction , YA is not just for musical genre fabrication , but a large percent of what ’s currently out there is fantasy or horror , or even SF . And a lot of what ’s presently bring put out as “ young adult ” fantasy could equally well be published for the grownup market ( as it has been for all those long time when there was no such thing in the UK as YA ) . I do n’t know what ’s going to chance to all those paranormal romance readers , but it ’s looking like the vampire thing is beginning to die back a trivial . . .
She also predicts more wave of George R.R. Martin and Charlaine Harris imitators , and publishers starting more dress shop genre imprints . Which hopefully means more cool books for us to get excited about . The whole interview is well worth read .
