What is Metaphysical Fiction?
- Stories in which metaphysical phenomena collide with ordinary human experience--causing chaos in the lives of characters in the story.
- Related Genres: Magical Realism, New Age/ Visionary Fiction
- The metaphysical element may be the focus of the plot or a device within a more complex plot: e.g. suspense combined with characters who possess talents that defy physical laws, which other characters want to possess and control.
Writing is Alchemy
“Stories emerge from alternate versions of folklore, especially Celtic and Native American…from experiences with visionary teachers, esoteric studies and metaphysics. Characters, though, must face real, contemporary dilemmas regardless of non-ordinary circumstances or the mystical gifts they possess.” ~ Karen M. Rider
