Date: 2017-11-27 09:57 am (UTC)I've read the odd self-published thing which switches genre midway through, in a way which no self-respecting publisher would allow. It certainly wakes you up. (Unfortunately they have a tendency also to misuse punctuation in a way which no self-respecting publisher would allow, and I'm irredeemably twitchy about that.)
