Cozy has certainly become a fashionable word attached to gender fiction. It all started with comfortable mysteries, which have existed for decades. Now we see a comfortable science fiction and fantasy, and even a comfortable horror. So what exactly means “comfortable”?
There are some common features of so -called comfortable books. Generally, they evoke a charming atmosphere with their framework. In comfortable mysteries, it is often a small town – think of a picturesque village in the English countryside. Fantasy adds magic to this picturesque village; Horror adds ghosts. For science fiction, comfort is often manifested as a ship, a space station or a colony with a united team. Readers can expect rich descriptions of the frame and a lot of atmosphere for a fully transporting reading experience.
Another common factor in these books is the challenges of history. The comfortable mysteries are somewhat confusing because the crimes they solve are generally murders! However, the reader is not subject to bloody details or put in the extreme suspense position. Likewise, comfortable and scientific novels can face the consequences of a large -scale conflict, but the characters are likely to face smaller, more internal or interpersonal challenges.
