For a while (years) I've seen job postings for authors needed to write fiction in the genre of paranormal romance.
OK, I've politely said nothing about this. What's there to say, anyway?
Today, I ran into a job listing that called for someone to write a 60,000-word book in the genre of "werewolves and hockey."
Not only that, but the job poster wrote, "don't bother to apply for this unless you are familiar with the werewolves and hockey genre."
Is this a joke? Have I missed out on some amazing fiction, because I have not yet discovered the werewolf and hockey genre?
Are there any other wacked out genres that I haven't heard about? Are there tons of retirement home romance novels I've somehow never been aware of? How about goldfish murder mysteries or romance with aliens? "Don't bother to apply unless you are familiar with intergalactic romance novels ...."
And what about zombies playing lacrosse? Has everyone kept that a secret, too?
Anyway, as a ghostwriter, I guess I just haven't read the right books. Come to think of it, maybe someone didn't know what the word ghostwriter meant, which kicked off the exciting new venue of paranormal romance books.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Evidently, there is a mix of unique and eclectic genres, blending elements of romance, murder mysteries, and something akin to the whimsical or fantastical world often associated with characters like Mickey Mouse. Here's a list of genre combinations that might interest you:
These genres mix traditional elements in unconventional ways, providing a fresh and imaginative take on storytelling.

That's hysterical, Woodrow. Makes me feel like an old sock.
