So, the other day, I was browsing in Barnes and Noble, and decided that since I couldn't find anything in the Sci-Fi/Fantasy section, I would look in the "Fiction/Literature" section, and oddly, I found a shelf full of vampire books.

The one I picked up was 13 Bullets, by David Wellington, and it is damned enjoyable so far. The protagonist is interesting (Lesbian state patrol trooper who rescues greyhounds), the side characters are also interesting, and the villains are delicious... well, the primary villain is great, her flunkies are hit or miss.

There are vampires, mentions of werewolves, half-dead slaves, and quotes from obscure literary works that reference vampires... all in all, it's a great modern fantasy read.

Which makes where I found it all the more interesting. The book was published in 2003, and there are sequels that have been published in the intervening years. He has also published several books online in related zones (zombies, werewolves, and monsters).

He is clearly writing Fantasy books, but they are sitting on the shelf in the Literature section... so, I am wondering if they have correctly classified his books.

What do you think? Should his books be literature, or should they be reshelved? Where is the line between Fantasy and Literature?
