Full on spoilers ahead.

I have an enormous hate boner for a book called The Keep. (Michael Mann filmed it in the 80's.) I hate it so much because it has seriously the best premise I'd ever heard - in the late stages of World War II, a bunch of Nazis hole up in an ancient castle in the mountains of Romania. When they start dying, they go to the town's little Jewish historian to figure out what's up.

They think it's a vampire. Everything thinks it's a vampire.

HOW AWESOME IS THAT VAMPIRES EATING NAZIS, NAZIS KILLING VAMPIRES HOLY SHIT YES. NO MATTER WHO LOSES THE READER WINS.

Only that's not what it is. Nope. Twist incoming, trope murdered: The Genre Shift.

The 'vampire' is *actually* this super ancient mystic primordial eldritch being with a One True Nemesis dude who walks in out of nowhere with a magical sword and instantly falls in love with the historian's beautiful daughter.

It was like From Dusk Till Dawn in reverse. The sweet-ass vamp novel turned into a bad fantasy romance.

Ergh, that would annoy me, too.

For a moment I though the genre shift was going to take it out of the supernatural realm and into realism and for some reason that intrigued me :\
