This week, our hosts wanted to take the time to define some oft-used library terms.

First up is Psychological Fiction, also fondly known by our hosts as "What the bleep?" books. These books contain an internal struggle based on an external event. It often uses inner dialog and flashbacks as devices and has more than one Point of View with at least one unreliable character/narrator. Deception and suspense are what drive these twisty novels.

The Gothic genre was created as a counter to the overly realistic writings of the late 1700s and 1800s. It usually involves emotional extremes and big sweeping weather. Gothic books also tend to lend to characters who are secretive, isolated, and naive. Authors of the genre are often inclined to also include some supernatural elements.
