For fun I am mapping trends in books and movies. We are currently ending werewolves and I’ve projected the next few hot topics. It is all cyclical so get ready for that vamp crazy of 2045! And as you can see from the watercolor below, I’m no stranger to loving these trends!
Swamp Monsters—>Aliens—>Mummies—>Zombies—>Pirates—>Wizards—>Vampires—>Werewolves—>Ghosts—>DIY Monsters—>Digidragons—>Multicorns—>Haunted Instruments—> AAAANNNDD Repeat

I agree, mostly. But do you think Zombies and Pirates are going to spike twice within the same cycle? And Vampires, too. I’m pro Zombie and Pirate, but Vampires are weak sauce.
