Four authors. Four genres. One lively literary showdown. Battle of the Genres brings together Mia Kuzniar (fantasy), Laura Purcell (gothic horror & historical fiction), Marcia Hutchinson (contemporary), and Tom Mead (golden age crime) as they go head-to-head to champion their craft. From magical fantasy worlds and dark histories to powerful contemporary storytelling and classic crime, expect spirited debate, fascinating insights, and plenty of surprises as each author makes the case for their genre in an interview by Dr Tim Rideout.
