Assignment One:
Early Word has been an interesting website to learn about upcoming information regarding the entirety of the book world - not just books themselves. This is nice because I am learning about movies, tv shows, and spin offs, that are inspired by popular books which I could easily point customers to who enjoyed the first product. I just saw that they are making a Horrorstor tv show and a Goosebumps movie. For people who enjoy these things, this knowledge is really cool to have and throw around. Street Fiction is still a nice site because it is constantly updated with personal reviews of books from different perspectives. I am not an avid blog follower, so I do forget to check in on this one. I have gained more knowledge about these type of stories by perusing the new urban fiction that comes in each week or browsing the shelf to learn more authors to have in my back pocket.
Assignment Two:
- Historical Fiction (Realistic) - based on true events but in narrative form that creates emotion, connection characters, and twists in perspectives.
- Hannah, Kristen.
- Hoffman, Alice.
- Gregory, Philippa.
- Steampunk (Science Fiction) - stories set in historical settings, mostly Victorian, that includes technology as a feature element in development of the plot.
- Carriger, Gail.
- Priest, Cherie.
- Blaylock, James P.
- Hard Boiled (Mystery) - typically antiheroes, the narrators of these stories solve their true crime stories with a perspective of cynicism perpetuated by systems of violence.
- Daly, Carroll J.
- Hammett, Dashiell.
- Chandler, Raymond.
Mash ups of subgenres:
- Cowboys vs Aliens (movie) - mash up of science fiction and westerns
- Pride and Prejudice and Zombies - mash up of realistic fiction and horror
- More Happy than Not - mash up of urban and science fiction
