Synopsis

Anyone who advises young adult or adult readers will benefit from this guide, which covers such popular genres as western, crime, adventure, romance, science fiction, fantasy, and horror. Herald defines each genre, describes its characteristics and subgenres, and groups authors according to type or subject of their books.
