Great list! You made me laugh out loud with some of these, including the one for speculative fiction. Umbrella is right!

  Glad you enjoyed it. Had trouble with speculative fiction because every time I see it come up, the definition is different.

Not literary genres, but I’ve got a couple:
Kaiju – Drama, extra large.
Superhero – Drama in spandex.
Musical – Drama in C Major.

Then you’ve got cookbooks, which actually offer a solution to drama. Or another source, depending on how good of a cook you are.

  Spandex brings in a whole new level of drama. With cookbooks, I can see drama in figuring out the difference between diced and chopped. Not to mention the fragility of soufflés.
