Consider the scene most expected in almost any vampire film. A supposedly virginal young woman opens her eyes in the middle of the night.

While on the hunt for a new book I spotted one that instantly caught my eye – The Farm by Emily McKay. The little blurb on the cover hooked me, just one tiny quote claiming that The Farm was a mix between Resident Evil and The Hunger Games. Obviously that is the greatest combination EVER! …

In companion to the essay on tropes over-used, here are some suggestions for tropes we rarely see. Any of these might be great, or at least have the potential to shake things up a bit.
