Too old for vampires(and other creatures).

"Aren't you a little to old to watch TV-series about vampires!?"

This outrageous(in my opinion LOL) comment was directed at my 24 year sister when she was watching an episode of the HBO series True Blood. The one that made that remark was our mother dearest. I honestly didn't know there was an upper age limit for liking books, TV-series and/or movies about vampires(or other sups for that sake!).

I enjoy reading(and watching) several different genres but my favorites are in the paranormal, supernatural and fantasy genres. I'm certainly not going to stop enjoying these genres just because I've reached a certain age! I feel that this is all about preferences, some love drama, others romance, others again likes the paranormal genre(some of us enjoy reading all kinds of genres). It's a perfectly honest matter to say that one doesn't care for a specific genre, but to old? No way, and yes I was a bit offended by that remark. I love these genres because in my opinion this is great fiction that allows me to escape from reality. There are so many bad things happening in this world and I'm one of those who's not all that keen on reading about stuff that actually very well might happen to someone in real life(eventhough I occasionally read books like that as well).

So what do you think am I to old for vampires and other fictional paranormal beings? Are you?
