Hubble Bubble...

Paranormal? It's everywhere. All of the ghouls and monsters that go bump in the night have somehow found their way onto our TV screens and into our literature and into a whole other range of our lives. The paranormal is very popular at the moment and with good reason. The idea that there are things in the dark has worked it's way into our pysche over thousands of generations. Shakespeare penned the words 'Hubble Bubble toil and trouble. Fire burn and cauldron bubble.' Brilliant words. Immortal words.
 
At the moment the paranormal has made a major comeback and we are obssesed with it. Programmes like Being Human have amassed huge followings and the genre just seems to keep growing without showing any signs of slowing down.
 
Personally, I loved Being Human. The final episode was brilliant in my opinion and I loved the series from the very begining but there is something about books that sank it's teeth into me at an early age and never lets go. Currently paranormal fiction is huge. Everything from paranormal romance to young adult paranormal fiction can be found at a good bookstore nowadays and the amount of choice is mouthwatering. There are also many new authors emerging on the paranormal fiction scene such as a friend of mine who just published her first novel available on the kindle from amazon called House Of Wolves (here is the link): http://www.amazon.co.uk/House-Wolves-Eve-ebook/dp/B00BWF3PWM/ref=sr_1_3?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1363727133&sr=1-3).

It is also available on the American Amazon website here:

So, are werewolves your thing? If so, check it out. Or maybe it will inspire you to write your own paranormal fiction. A genre such as the paranormal is so diverse and so full of opportunities that letting your imagination run wild is the whole point. Everybody has a story to tell and the popularity of the paranormal at the moment is definately promising.
