Vampires NO!
The fact that the vampire can live forever was good for literature for a few hundred years: it meant intriguing stories, inspirational romance and disturbing tales of dark and light forces colliding with terrifying results that felt really…well, real. But looking at what’s on offer at the Amazon Kindle store, you can’t help but think that it would have been better if vampires didn’t live forever after all…browse the virtual book shelves and you will soon discover that there are literally thousands of vampire books out there. The problem isn’t the quantity, it’s the outrageously bad quality of some of them. This presents an enormous barrier when looking for vampire books (which I don’t often do, for reasons just stated…). Sadly, it means that anyone who has written a good and original vampire book is going to struggle massively with getting people to read it without judgement first.
Of course, vampires aren’t the only thing which the Kindle is inundated with. There are also teen novels that just wouldn’t cut the mustard with a publisher, badly designed picture books with badly formatted pictures, and numerous other horrors (such as one book I saw about a man who deals with Botox Prices and what happens when the prices actually come to life and haunt him…). Much as I love the Kindle, I wish there was a way to separate those self-published titles from the others. I have nothing against anyone who wants to self-publish, but I might in a few years if the vampire genre keeps growing at the same despicable rate!
