Paranormal romance

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Paranormal romance is a literary subgenre of speculative fiction, blending together themes from the genres of traditional fantasy, science fiction, or horror. Paranormal romance may range from traditional harlequin romances with a paranormal setting to stories where the main emphasis is on a science fiction or fantasy based plot with a romantic subplot included. Typically, the term refers to the harlequin end of the spectrum. Common hallmarks are romantic relationships between humans and vampires, humans and werewolves, and steampunk settings.
