Hi everybody, I am new here)
I write in two, but very similar genres: Inspirational Apocalyptic fiction and Christian Horror.
Can I ask how is your market?
In some way it is too difficult to find your readers?
My apologies from now in my question, but I am really green in this.
For some time I have a notion that there is not too much market in my 2 genres, I mean, out there is its fan base, but is not that giant as in another genres. I may be quite wrong because I only follow the box-office of those films (no novels) in Wikipedia and Box Office Mojo since I have no idea where I need to go to find the box-office or the lists of best-selling books in my area, but also with its market information.
I have seen movies that can not follow the success of its original books, by example: The Mist from Stephen King or (classic or recent) remakes from The Omen and similar works. The Mist film was not a super successful box-office if I remember.
The films fans don’t receive quite well horror in Christian movies (or books)?
I believe Horror is a smaller niche than compared with some other genres. What do you think?
The recently canceled TV-show Damien (A&E) is another example in my humble mind. According to tvseriesfinale the show only received an average of 0.18 in the 18-49 demo and a total of 478,000 viewers. Okay, the show had its issues, but because I really really love the genre I always watched it.
But, my question is, how those 478,000 viewers transmit in buying horror books? It is quite amazing number of potential readers-buyers I still think.
Sending hugs,
Gladys
