NOVEL GENRES Although the novel is itself a literary genre, it can be broken into subgenres,such as horror, fantasy, romance, mystery, and comedy. The list goes on and on. Each genre has certain conventions that allow readers to recognize it as a certain type of story soon after they begin reading it. These conventions involve both content and style. For example, if you read a story that begins “It was a dark and stormy night,” you immediately develop certain expectations. You assume that the book is probably a work of mystery or suspense. However, if a book begins with “The sun danced on the wildflowers on this beautiful June morning,” you develop a very different set of expectations.
