Fantasy is a fiction genre set in an imaginary universe, often but not always without any locations, events, or people from the real world.

Most fantasy uses magic or other supernatural elements as a main plot element, theme, or setting.

Magic and magical creatures are common in many of these imaginary worlds.

Fantasy is generally distinguished from the genres of science fiction by the expectation that it steers clear of scientific and macabre themes, respectively, though there is a great deal of overlap among the three, all of which are subgenres of speculative fiction.

An electronic book (or e-book) is a book publication made available in digital form, consisting of text, images, or both, readable on the flat-panel display of computers or other electronic devices.

Thriller is a broad genre of literature, film and television, having numerous subgenres.

Genre (or; from French genre, "kind" or "sort", from Latin genus (stem gener), Greek γένος, génos) is any form or type of communication in any mode (written, spoken, digital, artistic, etc) with socially-agreed upon conventions developed over time.

Genre is most popularly known as a category of literature, music, or other forms of art or entertainment, whether written or spoken, audio or visual, based on some set of stylistic criteria, yet genres can be aesthetic, rhetorical, communicative, or functional.

Genres form by conventions that change over time as new genres are invented and the use of old ones is discontinued.

Often, works fit into multiple genres by way of borrowing and recombining these conventions.

Stand alone texts, works, or pieces of communication may have individual styles, but genres are amalgams of these texts based on agreed upon or socially inferred conventions.

Some genres may be rigid with strictly adhered to guidelines while others may be very flexible.
