Can you give examples for the two types of crime fiction?

Sure. One type is the historical mystery. For example, the 'Brother Cadfael' series. It's set in medieval England and combines historical details with mystery - solving. Another type is the historical romance. 'Gone with the Wind' is a well - known example. It tells a love story against the backdrop of the American Civil War, with lots of historical elements like the social structure and the war itself.

If we consider mystery as one type of commercial fiction, 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' by Stieg Larsson is a well - known example. It has a complex mystery plot. For literary fiction that focuses on the human condition, 'The Great Gatsby' by F. Scott Fitzgerald is a classic. It explores themes like wealth, love, and the American Dream.

Sure. One example is the six - word story. Ernest Hemingway's 'For sale: baby shoes, never worn' is a famous one. Another is the micro - story. For instance, 'She opened the door. Darkness greeted her.' There's also the slice - of - life flash fiction like a story that just shows a man waiting for his coffee in a busy café and his brief thoughts during that time.

One type could be the hard - boiled detective stories, often featuring a tough, cynical detective who solves crimes in a gritty urban setting. Another type is the cozy mystery, which usually takes place in a small, idyllic community and has a more light - hearted tone with less graphic violence.

Sure. For short stories, 'The Gift of the Magi' by O. Henry is a great example. It's a classic short story with a twist ending. As for flash fiction, 'Cat Person' by Kristen Roupenian is well - known. It caused quite a stir when it was published. A novelette example could be 'Of Mice and Men' by John Steinbeck, which has more depth compared to a typical short story.

There are many examples. In adventure fiction, 'Treasure Island' by Robert Louis Stevenson is a great one. For historical fiction, 'The Pillars of the Earth' by Ken Follett. And in horror, 'Dracula' by Bram Stoker is very well - known. These books are representative of their respective types of fiction.

Sure. Coming - of - age is a big one. For example, 'The Catcher in the Rye' is a classic coming - of - age story. Family dramas like 'Little Women' are also common. And social - conscious stories such as 'To Kill a Mockingbird' which tackles racial discrimination.

Well, the autonomous drones can be considered a type of robot in fiction. In some military - themed fictions, they are used for surveillance and attacks. Then there are the entertainment robots. In the movie 'Robot & Frank', Frank had a robot caretaker that also provided some entertainment. And the transformable robots, like the Autobots and Decepticons in 'Transformers', which can change their forms from vehicles to robots and vice versa.

Sure. For the type of historical romance, 'Outlander' is a great example. It combines historical events with a love story. Another type is historical drama, and 'Schindler's List' fits this. It's a very powerful drama based on real - life historical events during the Holocaust. And for historical adventure, 'The Three Musketeers' is a classic, full of swashbuckling action in a historical French setting.

Sure. A common technique is the 'locked room' mystery, where a crime occurs in a seemingly impossible - to - enter or - exit location. Another is the use of forensic details. Authors may describe how the police or investigators analyze evidence like fingerprints or blood spatter. And there's the technique of having a sidekick for the detective, which can be used for comedic relief or to have someone the detective can bounce ideas off of.
