Some Thoughts on Paranormal Fiction

In books and magazines.  On the movie screen.  It seems that
everywhere you look there is some sort of fictional account of
paranormal beings or happenings.  Thus then being construed
into the reality of the paranormal and damaging the credibility
of the truth.  Why ?  It is romantic, it sells and it definitely holds
the attention of the reader, the viewer and the listener.  So it is
important to separate what has been fictionalized and the truth.
However our society thrives on folklore, urban legends and
ghost stories.

Here is one critics  view on Romantic Paranormal :

Fifty-four percent of paperback fiction sold is romance fiction,
and paranormal romance—that is, romance including any
element beyond the range of scientific explanation, like ghosts
or time travel—rivals and often surpasses in popularity fantasy
novels containing similar elements.   Beyond its popularity,
however, are more reasons this genre bears close
examination.   Paranormal romances carry traits of all
romance fiction:  texts that appear to shift in relation to different
audiences, an oddly collective authorship, and formulae that
allow for safe exploration of gender “secrets.”   Additionally,
paranormal romances serve particular functions for readers,
functions which critics, myself included, have found disturbing.  
Romance fiction in general offers a rich, subtle, and safe  
portrayal of the complex state of gender relations at the turn of
the millennium.  Paranormal romance in particular, because it
is uniquely responsive to audience needs and desires, tells us
more about women’s needs, feelings, and fantasies than any
other genre of the fantastic.
