I have been scanning Tor for the past few weeks -- I have to admit here that my patience for this type of book has begun to wear thin, how I can be tired with paranormal lore , hybrid monster characters who all look like ravishing 18 year old humans ( except they are immortal and usually scantily clothed) , and marathon sexual escapades, don't ask me, but I have been reading outside my genre lately ( and really enjoying it). Nonetheless, for afficionados of these books, Tor fulfills it's purpose -- to keep fans informed about new releases in paranormal romance, paranormal fiction, science fiction and genre benders -- all minor works in what I consider minor genres. There is also a place for new cover art, which is important to this particular type of book (some of the art is quite striking, especially the science fiction art), there is a place for blogging, and there is a message board containing conversations different events, art and books. Both the blogs and the message boards are up to date indicating that this is an active site. Current fan events, relevant television, movies are also present. It serves a very useful purpose to its participants.
