Why Romance Books are Still in Print

You might think that by now our culture has had enough of the mushy happily ever after love story that makes for good chick flicks and fairy tales, but is seemingly elusive in the real world. But head over to your local book store and youll see that the romance novel aisle is one of the largest sections in the whole store. Indeed, romance books arent going out of print anytime soon. If anything, it seems like the amount of romance novels in print has increased. But how can this be, you might wonder. What more do romance books have to offer us? Isnt the world tired of silly love songs and cheesy romance?

Nope, not even close. Maybe people are tired of the old love stories and love songs, but theyre embracing the age-old ideals of love and romance in a whole new way: the bad way, the bad romance. Its the age of Lady Gaga and her little monsters, of Pink and her partygoers who are wrong in all the right ways, and Rihanna whos bad but perfectly good at it. Its the age of vampires and werewolves and their illicit affairs with human beings, love that shouldnt happen but the audience wants it bad, that bad romance. So when we say that the amount of romance books has increased, we really mean more Twilight books are on the shelves. Theyre the bad romance books, and in a way theyre more romantic than the pure hearted good romance ideals of that past. Being in love with someone even though they feed off of blood, faint at the sight of garlic and burn to a crisp when the sun rises? Thats some pretty powerful love right there. Wanting ALL of someone, their ugly, their disease, their horror and their design and not just their good points is in some ways a more dedicated, all-encompassing love than the traditional happily-ever-after offers. You have to wonder: would Snow White and Cinderella really fallen for their princes if they hadnt been charming? In this day and age, they would have. And Snow White wouldnt have been so snowy white either, and Cinderella would have embraced her ashes.

So no, romance isnt dead, romance books continue to be in print and love is still oh so real, albeit twisted and reinterpreted. The legends of old do endure, and true love is everlasting. But no one said that they would remain immortal in their original forms. Love will continue to change and evolve as time goes on, and maybe next century itll be a whole new kind of animalor monster. And well be dying to read all about it.
