So. Then the Genres showed up. Western appeared first; he shaved the mustache but you'd still know him a mile away. Blockbuster came next. He looks more roided out than he did the last time I saw him. Then Mystery came. And Horror, who still scares the crap out of me. And Romance, that slut. And the twins, Science Fiction and Fantasy. And Literature, still looking down her nose at us all.
