Speculative Fiction $70.1 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Speculative fiction is a fiction genre speculating about worlds that are unlike the real world in various important ways. In these contexts, it generally overlaps one or more of the following: science fiction, fantasy fiction, horror fiction, supernatural fiction, superhero fiction, utopian and dystopian fiction, apocalyptic and postapocalyptic fiction, and alternate history.The term is often attributed to Robert A. Heinlein. In his first known use of the term, in editorial material at the front of the 2/8/1947 issue of The Saturday Evening Post, Heinlein used it specifically as a synonym for science fiction ; in a later piece, he explicitly stated that his use of the term did not include fantasy. Heinlein may have come up with the term himself, but there are earlier citations: a piece in Lippincotts Monthly Magazine in 1889, used the term in reference to Edward Bellamys Looking Backward: 20001887 and other works.

YoungAdult Fiction $66.91 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Youngadult fiction, whether in the form of novels or short stories, has distinct attributes that distinguish it from the other age categories of fiction: Adult fiction, Middle Grade Fiction, and Childrens Fiction.

The subject matter and story lines are typically consistent with the age and experience of the main character, but beyond that YA stories span the entire spectrum of fiction genres. The settings of YA stories are limited only by the imagination and skill of the author. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.

Philosophical fiction works would include the socalled novel of ideas, including a significant proportion of science fiction, utopian and dystopian fiction, and Bildungsroman.

Fan Fiction $78.07 Fan fiction (alternately referred to as fanfiction, fanfic, FF, or fic) is a broadlydefined term for fan labor regarding stories about characters or settings written by fans of the original work, rather than by the original creator. Works of fan fiction are rarely commissioned or authorized by the original works owner, creator, or publisher; also, they are almost never professionally published. Fan fiction, therefore, is defined by being both related to its subjects canonical fictional universe and simultaneously existing outside the canon of that universe. Most fan fiction writers assume that their work is read primarily by other fans, and therefore tend to presume that their readers have knowledge of the canon universe (created by a professional writer) in which their works are based.

Fiction and Metaphysics $70.1 This challenging study places fiction squarely at the center of the discussion of metaphysics. Philosophers have traditionally treated fiction as involving a set of narrow problems in logic or the philosophy of language. By contrast Amie Thomasson argues that fiction has farreaching implications for central problems of metaphysics. The book develops an artifactual theory of fiction, whereby fictional characters are abstract artifacts as ordinary as laws or symphonies or works of literature. In taking seriously the work of literary scholars and in citing a wide range of literary examples, this book will interest not only philosophers concerned with metaphysics and the philosophy of language, but also those in literary theory interested in these foundational issues.

The Fiction by Christmas, R. A. [Paperback] $37.32 Our lives are often determined by a single, defining choice or experience. In Rick Robinsons case, it was his decision, as a teenager in the 1950s, to join the Mormon Church. Everything that followed was the resultmore or lessof how well and how poorly he kept that commitment. Six stories comprise the bulk of this booksnapshots of Rick from youth to late middleage, from different perspectives and points of view. The effect is discontinuous, and sometimes disturbing. Whats the worth of a life thats mostly a running away ? Whats the value of art that merely describes it? the fiction provides no answers to these questions. It simply embodies them. Rick Robinson is not a madeup character; hes the authors fictiveself. In the seventh story all the masksand the glovescome off, and some truths are laid bare, on the TGV to Paris, the City of Light.

Mystery (Fiction) $81.25 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Mystery fiction is a looselydefined term that is often used as a synonym for detective fiction in other words a novel or short story in which a detective (either professional or amateur) investigates and solves a crime. The term mystery fiction may sometimes be limited to the subset of detective stories in which the emphasis is on the puzzle element and its logical solution (cf. whodunit), as a contrast to hardboiled detective stories, which focus on action and gritty realism. However, in more general usage mystery may be used to describe any form of crime fiction, even if there is no mystery to be solved. For example, the Mystery Writers of America describes itself as the premier organization for mystery writers, professionals allied to the crime writing field, aspiring crime writers, and those who are devoted to the genre. However, a mystery story can also be a story that has a villain that is ghostly and unknown. In this type of mystery story it is just word of mouth that passes on the story from one person to another and the being that is the villain may never be found by the reader or detective in the story, hence the name mystery fiction.

Bizarro Fiction $82.85 Bizarro fiction is a contemporary literary genre noted for its focus on high weirdness. The term was adopted in 2005 by the independent publishing companies Eraserhead Press, Raw Dog Screaming Press, and Afterbirth Books in response to the rising demand for unique and outlandish fiction. In the introduction to The Bizarro Starter Kit, Bizarro is described as literatures equivalent to the cult section at the video store and a genre that strives not only to be strange, but fascinating, thoughtprovoking, and, above all, fun to read. According to Rose OKeefe of Eraserhead Press: Basically, if an audience enjoys a book or film primarily because of its weirdness, then it is Bizarro. Weirdness might not be the works only appealing quality, but it is the major one. While works of Bizarro may have literary merit, the primary focus of the genre is to entertain. In this respect, Bizarro has more in common with speculative fiction genres (such as sciencefiction, fantasy, and horror) than with avantgarde movements (such as Dadaism and surrealism) that readers and critics often associate it with.
