"You don't have to go further than "Twilight," "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "Teen Wolf," "Vampire Diaries," and "Dracula" to see why so many romance seekers would gladly make out with monsters." -- Bonnie Burton; Crave

Really? Yes, really. At CNET News Bonnie Burton takes a serious look at the new trend of non-human love interests in e-books. Guess which non-human tops the list? You guessed it, Bigfoot. This is like "50 shades of Reddish-Brown Fur" An excerpt from her article is below:

However, many may have been introduced to so-called monster porn for the first time thanks to a recent Business Insider piece on e-book retailers cracking down on this literary genre that's gaining a wide following online. One of the titles in question, "Moan For Bigfoot" by Virginia Wade, has been downloaded more than 100,000 times.
