The UK SF Book Network has what looks like a long press release from Gollancz about their new "Gollancz Romancz" imprint, which will be be devoted to "sexy supernatural stories." Since they're trying to keep a higher tone, the common UK term "vampire shagging" does not appear once in the story.

There have been dedicated imprints for paranormal or supernatural romances on this side of the pond -- I think Harlequin's Luna was first, though there are several romance houses in that area now -- but this looks to be the first in the UK, and the first to be tied to a SFF publisher rather than a romance line.

I wonder if all of those literary SF writers who want SFF to merge with the "mainstream" will be happy with the prospect of SFF merging with the biggest fiction category in publishing, the romance novel? Somehow I doubt it...
