Essential Fiction Genres provides a wide range of stimulating source materials divided into the most common genres of fiction, such as Fantasy, Horror, Crime, Romance and Science fiction.

    The book is effectively supported by a Teacher’s Guide which offers concise and useful notes on every text, as well as a range of copiable sheets for use as OHTs (some annotated) and handouts.
