Abstract: Genre is a label of classification imposed on literary works usually as a means to understand how to market a project. The traditional form - "literary fiction" - is the most common but a visit to any bookstore will demonstrate that there are so many more options. This collection contains my beginning studies in crafting genre literature: a "literary" piece that was a finalist in a competition a monster based horror story a supernatural horror story and a science fiction tale of initial planetary exploration.
