Dark Fantasy
A bleak fantasy world without clear good or evil, where magic always comes at a high price.
Cozy Mystery
A gentle whodunit full of tea, small towns, and amateur sleuthing rather than graphic violence.
Creeping Dread
Horror that slowly builds a quiet sense that something is terribly wrong, instead of using jump scares or gore.
Magical Realism
Magic and the strange are woven naturally into everyday, ordinary life.
