Dread South 

Introduction

Time for a short quiz: 

What is the best-selling genre of fiction?
  • Horror
  • Science Fiction/Fantasy
  • Crime/Mystery
  • Romance
  • Religious/Inspirational

If you chose Romance, you're right! In fact, Romance novels sell nearly twice as well as the next most popular genre, which is Crime/Mystery. 

Why are Romance novels so popular? ​Why not? Who can resist a good love story?

Recently, I picked up a YA book called "Three Sides of a Heart". It's a collection of romantic short romance stories for teenagers.  

When I got to the story called "Dread South", I almost skipped it. You see, I had read some reviews for this story on Amazon, so I already knew that it was a zombie story that takes place in the Civil War era. 

Seriously? A historical romance with zombies in it? That sounded far too weird for me. So I nearly skipped it—but then I didn't, and I'm sure glad I didn't, because it turned out to be one of my favorite stories in the book. 

Did you know?​

Young adult fiction (YA) is a category of fiction written for readers from 12 to 18 years of age. While the genre is targeted to teenagers, approximately half of YA readers are adults.
