Yup. I call it 'tragedy porn.' Of course, it's a generalization to say that all adult literature is doom and gloom, but it seems like so many of the books that have been recommended to me lately, or that are on all the top lists are some variation of "a dysfunctional family struggles with..." or "after a tragedy, a family is left..." And I'm just like NO.
