You can’t turn the TV on or go to a theatre these days without seeing something paranormal related. People are seriously into the weird and unexplained. From Supernatural to Fringe to movies like Zombieland and District 9, the woo-woo is everywhere. And books are no different. Especially romance novels and young adult fiction. I bought my nieces some books for Christmas and of the 6 books I bought, 4 of them were paranormal. They’re eating it up. Vampires, fallen angels, witches, and other strange things that go bump in the night. The creativity in YA books right now is simply astounding.

I read it too, though now exclusively. I’ve been reading Jim Butcher’s Dresden series for years. And while JD Robb’s series probably isn’t considered paranormal, it is futuristic and that counts in the woo-woo world, just a slightly different area. I also am a fan of Charlain Harris and the Sookie Stackhouse series. So I enjoy a good amount of of the strange and unusual though I admit I haven’t joined the party to the extent of a lot of readers who read almost exclusively paranormal. I am interested though, very interested in finding some new authors and books to read. Also my Legend Hunter series, while mostly historical romance, has some paranormal elements and I’ve really enjoyed dabbling with that.

So how about it? Are you a paranormal fan? What are your favorite authors and books in that genre? What about TV shows? Are you hooked on any of the woo-woo shows?
