Supernatural fiction is hard to clearly define which makes publishers and movie producers shy about marketing a work as supernatural fiction. Often times it will be labeled as historical fantasy or urban fantasy. Which isn\'t entirely misleading as the genres can overlap. In fact most young adult urban fantasy out there is also supernatural fiction. Gothic horror, paranormal romance, and paranormal mystery aren\'t supernatural fiction but people like the way magic is presented in these stories and experiment around with them to make a unique setting. This is the essence of supernatural fiction.

Libba Bray, Cassandra Clare, and Kelley Armstrong are some young adult authors I like. Should I put those and that other one down as examples. Urban Fantasy seems to me like you\'re changing up the setting to a High Fantasy, Heroic Fantasy, or Low Fantasy but otherwise keeps the same plot. It\'s also possible for urban fantasy and supernatural fiction to overlap but they don\'t have to.
