Speculative Fiction
 What is speculative fiction?

Speculative fiction is an umbrella term for books that deal with topics that aren't outside the normal bounds of reality. Think time travel, imaginative worlds, the supernatural.

Science fiction, horror, and fantasy generally fall into this category, but so can works of contemporary and literary fiction.
