=> Should Your Books Be Darker?
Gothic Romance is one the sub-categories that were continuously featured as one of the "Hot Cells" in our K-lytics Book Strategy Map.
On top, average sales per day for the Top 20 books in the Romance-Gothic bestseller list improved by 318% for the period from January 1016 to March 2017.
