Genres
The "Supernatural" category for books typically includes stories that involve paranormal or supernatural elements, such as ghosts, vampires, werewolves, witches, and other supernatural creatures. These books often explore themes of magic, mystery, and the unknown, and may incorporate elements of horror, romance, or fantasy. Supernatural books can range from dark and eerie tales to lighthearted and whimsical stories, but they all share a common thread of exploring the supernatural world beyond our own.
"Comics & Graphic Novels" is a diverse and dynamic category of books that encompasses a wide range of visual storytelling forms. This genre is characterized by sequential art—a series of illustrations which, when combined with text, narrate a story or bring to life complex ideas and emotions. Comics can range from brief strips to serialized stories in magazines, while graphic novels are typically longer, bound works that often tell a complete narrative in one volume. The content can vary from superhero adventures, fantasy, and science fiction to autobiographical works, historical drama, and profound explorations of social and political themes. This category is known for its ability to transcend age barriers, appealing to children, teens, and adults alike, and is celebrated for its unique blend of literary and artistic expression that can convey intricate stories with both depth and visual impact.
