thriller sub genres

CRIME THRILLER
- Crime fiction is the literary genre that fictionalizes crimes, their detection, criminals and their motives. It is usually distinguished from mainstreamfiction and other genres such as science fiction or historical fiction, but boundaries can be, and indeed are, blurred. It has several sub-genres, including detective fiction  legal thriller, courtroom drama and hard-boiled fiction.


TECHNO THRILLERS
- Techno-thrillers (or technothrillers) are a hybrid genre, drawing subject matter generally from spy/action thrillers, fantasy/war novels, and science fiction. They include a disproportionate amount (relative to other genres) of technical details on its subject matter (typically military technology); only science fiction tends towards a comparable level of supporting detail on the technical side. The inner workings of technology and the mechanics of various disciplines (espionage, martial arts, politics) are thoroughly explored, and the plot often turns on the particulars of that exploration.Techno-thrillers tend to have a broad scope in the narrative, and can often be regarded as contemporary speculative fiction; world wars are a common topic.


DISASTER THRILLER - these types of thrillers usually include some sort of disaster for example a tsunami, earthquake or volcano, this could also include a man made disaster for example global warming or a nuclear explosion.


HORROR THRILLER
horror thrillers seek to elicit a negative emotional reaction from viewers by playing on the audience's most primal fears. They often feature scenes thatstartle the viewer through the means of macabre and the supernatural, thus frequently overlapping with the fantasy and science fiction genres. Horrors also frequently overlap with the thriller genre.
