While authors provided variety, I basically knew what to expect. When I first started reading romance, I soon recognized the patterns and rules of the genre. To Gabriel, the cemetery symbolized the fact that he could never die, that much better people than him left this mortal realm, some far too soon, and he was condemned, by his own misconduct, to walk the earth forever without purpose. There are several books that are perfect examples of when romance and horror meet in fiction with stellar results. Despite the odds, things look hopeful at the end that this couple might have a future together – hooray! That’s the kind of horror/romance mix I love. If this wasn’t a horror film, this would make a good “meet-cute.” Megan meets Tommy for the first time while he’s locked up in her father’s jail. I like the snappy dialogue, the homages to classic horror actors and directors, but I adore the unexpected romance between the beleaguered Tommy Jarvis and Megan, the sassy daughter of the sheriff. One of my absolute favorite horror films is Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives. My taste in horror films runs toward cheesy slasher films with exaggerated, fake violence and classic ghost stories.
Among other things, I think that’s just truer to life. I’m a romance reader but I like when genres mix together in films and in books. By Fresh Fiction Senior Reviewer Miranda Owen
