Genres

Eastwick

"Eastwick" as a literary category evokes a genre that blends elements of magic realism, small-town intrigue, and feminist themes, often set against a backdrop of contemporary or historical New England. Books in the "Eastwick" category would typically explore the lives and interpersonal dynamics of characters who possess supernatural abilities or encounter magical phenomena, all while navigating the complexities of social norms and personal relationships. This genre pays homage to the charm and mystery of East Coast settings, where the quaintness of seaside towns or the haunting beauty of forested landscapes provide a rich tapestry for tales of empowerment, romance, and the occasional dark secret. Inspired by works like John Updike's "The Witches of Eastwick," this category promises a bewitching blend of the fantastical with the everyday, inviting readers to question the limits of reality and the power of the unknown.
