Genres

Low Fantasy

Low Fantasy is a subgenre of fantasy literature that is characterized by its grounding in the real world or a world very similar to ours, with the inclusion of magical or fantastical elements being minimal and often more subtle than in high fantasy genres. Unlike high fantasy, which transports readers to entirely different worlds or realms filled with magic and mythical creatures, low fantasy stories are set in a recognizable world where magic intrudes on reality but does not dominate it. This genre often explores the juxtaposition of the mundane with the extraordinary, focusing on how ordinary characters react to and interact with the slight, often unsettling, supernatural or magical elements that enter their world. The magic in low fantasy can serve as a metaphor for real-world issues, and the stories often delve into themes of moral ambiguity, realism, and the complexities of human nature, making them appealing to readers who enjoy nuanced storytelling that blurs the lines between the fantastical and the plausible.

Revenge

The "Revenge" category of books typically involves stories where a character seeks vengeance against another character or group of characters who have wronged them in some way. These books often explore themes of justice, morality, and the consequences of seeking revenge. The stories may be dark and gritty, with characters who are willing to go to extreme lengths to achieve their goals. Overall, the "Revenge" category offers readers a thrilling and often emotionally charged reading experience.
