I’m not sure if I’m ***?king this correctly ****?…

I’m reading this ****?k for my genre project called “The Foreshadowing” which is about a girl who can ***?e the ***?ture of ***?ople’s deaths. That’s generalized ***? “supernatural,” right? Is supernatural also ***?ntasy?
Basically, my English teacher ***?ve me this genre ****?k list that I have to complete. The four main genres are: ***?ntasy, historical fiction, science fiction, and mystery. I was wondering if supernatural ***?lls into ***?ntasy.

What is a good fiction book where the main character has OCD?


I read The Book of Lost Things, and the main charater had OCD but was only mentioned in the first few pages.

Do you know of any fiction books that the main character has OCD and it chronicles his daily routines and rituals? Or if you know of any books that the main character is afraid of germs or light or anything that would make daily life difficult that average people take for granted (like in the TV show Monk or Leo Decaprio as Howard Hughes in The Aviator).

I’m looking for anything in mystery, horror, sci-fi genres, not romance or comedy, but really any book that you know is good.
I forgot to note, looking for adult reading. Thanks!

Do you like supernatural fiction?


I’m an author of supernatural fiction and I was just wondering how many people are into that type of genre. There are many sub-genres including romance, mystery etc involving paranormal or supernatural elements. Do you enjoy these types of books? If so, what authors and why?

Can anyone recommend any reputable publishers for genres in fiction/adventure?


I’m a young writer, mainly writing fiction, adventure, some science fiction, and I would like to know which publishers to give some consideration to. I don’t have a lot of money to burn, though, so nothing too expensive. Or could you tell me if there are any I should avoid? Thanks for your time.
