mystery genre

Like many genres such as fantasy and science fiction, horror also has a lot of sub genres associated. Some of these sub genres that I found interesting is:

  1. Suspense - It's a thriller where the protagonist is being hunted down as they try to find the criminal.
  2. Crime - This is mainly about the bad guys and how they are smart, organized, and daring. It's interesting because it's not about the good in people.
  3. Legal/Medical - These people know about laws and anatomy and can help a crime. The perspective from their eyes can provide insight since they know more than an average family member trying to avenge a loved one.

I like the mystery genre. I like trying to guess and discover new pieces of information as I go. I love plot twists and how an author might turn a story for the worse. I haven't seen or read that much but from what I know, it's fun. The one thing I don't like about mystery is that one has to be very unique if they want an original story. There are many cliches in mysteries and an author needs to figure out what will fit the plot so that the end is not obvious.
