How difficult is it to keep injecting fresh ideas into a frankly oversaturated genre? I imagine it's difficult because if you stray too far you will lose the audience yet if you stick with the tired tropes, you just sound redundant.
A number of other questions and responses answered your question, so we didn't get to reading it directly ( sorry ). For example at one point I pointed out that there are over 80,000 titles on vampires at Amazon, and asked what sets his stories apart from the rest.

This show was also very challenging for me because of the very different worldviews between the guest and myself. When you hear the show you'll get a much better idea what I'm talking about. His creative process is very different from that of a typical fiction writer, relying literally on what he believes are divinely inspired visions of people, places, and things.
