You haven't missed anything. The paranormal and vampires have their place in literature but nothing can replace the Gothic Suspense/Romance genre. It is sui generis. That it has fallen out of fashion (perhaps temporarily?) is unfortunate. I don't want to insult anyone, but I think it has to do with the simple prevalence of bad taste. Vampire romances? No thank you. Since when are dead people sexy? Ick!
