""The sections are compact, clearly explained and well laid out, and really help my students understand the basics as well as giving them more detail as needed. The examples throughout are particularly good for this as they recommend reading, movies, and TV series which they can quickly access...""- Esther MacCallum-Stewart, Professor of Games Studies, University of Staffordshire""There are other studies of genre fiction on the market, and other writing guides, but there is no book combining the two in quite this way or breaking down genres and tropes in similarly concise but granular detail...""- Interzone
