Just wondering if anyone else is writing something that falls into the psychological drama subgenre? For those who aren't clear on the definition, psychological drama is a subgenre of the psychological thriller including the following:
- Highly character-driven
- Emphasis on conflict
- The primary conflict is internal or person vs. self
- Usually contains at least mild horror/psychological horror elements (not always, but usually)
- Little to no violence (unlike the thriller), with the emphasis on character relationships and dilemmas.
Mine is pretty much stereotypically this - it'll probably end up being classified as mainstream or literary when it gets published, but I wrote most of it with this subgenre in mind and was wondering if anyone else has something similar on their writing plate?
