In horror, suspense, and mystery, readers can be frightened, apprehensive, and perplexed while in the safety of their beds. Horror, suspence, and mystery can overlap in definition so they are often grouped together.
Horror can be found in many forms:
- Ghosts and other supernatural beings
- Graphic horror with plenty of blood and guts
Suspense keeps you on the edge of your seat as you read quickly to see what will happen next.
Mystery lets you use your brain to puzzle out a complex problem and try to solve it before the main character can.
