Do you think this squeezing out all the wildness is driven by marketing or the author herself?
(Our book club just read Jacqueline Carey's recent _Santa Olivia_, which is lovely (but not a horror novel). Unsurprisingly, the cover bears no relationship to the content of the book, and I was reminded of how often the publisher's marketing folks reshape the books to what they perceive as the best sale.)
