 | | In science fiction and fantasy, a writer's worldview invariably affects their writing, but not necessarily in ways which alienate or are offensive to readers with different beliefs. | | | Some of the "famous" science fiction and fantasy writers on this list may be included because they have been particularly prolific or have had significant influence on the field. | | | But for these authors, a single word such as "Catholic" or "agnostic" is certainly no indicator of what their work is like. |

| | Horror fiction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Modern horror fiction found its roots in the gothic novels that exploded into popularity in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, typified by Ann Radcliffe's The Mysteries of Udolpho (1794)and Horace Walpole's The Castle of Otranto (1764). | | | Since the 1960s, any work of fiction with a morbid, gruesome, surreal, exceptionally suspenseful or frightening theme has come to be called "horror." Horror fiction often overlaps with science fiction and/or fantasy, all of which have sometimes been placed under the umbrella category speculative fiction. | | | A variation on the Gothic formula that remains one of the most enduring and imitated horror works is Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley's novel Frankenstein (1818, revised version 1831). |

| | The Ten Commandments of Detective Fiction |
| | Once an author soars into the realm of fantasy, in the Jules Verne manner, he is outside the bounds of detective fiction, cavorting in the uncharted reaches of adventure. | | | The Detective: This is almost axiomatic -- one must have a detective who is distinctively defined, preferably a series detective (which saves having to create a new one for each book -- easier that way both for the writer and the reader and engenders a familiarity that ensures comfort and a market for new books). | | | The Title: "The best advice to the author faced with the selection of a title is not to worry about it." Having a good title and basing the book on it is like the tail wagging the dog. |
