But even within the LGBTQ Romance genre, niches exist that must be explored.
The paranormal/dark sub-genre is a very popular one and presents some truly frightening tales.
Not only is this genre unique in its matching of two largely avoided genres (Horror and LGBTQ) but also makes for some of the best stories.
The genre brings to life the tales of mythical and paranormal creatures in the background of a male to male romantic relationship that defies the odds of existing culture and society.
Given that such a genre defies most boundaries of society, the relationship itself might be kept open to spice up the story.
Definitely dark. Immensely sad and heartbreaking. A rabbit hole of terror full of emotional and physical pain. Hard to read without breaking your heart.
