Furthermore, supernature can also be related to Gothic literature, which makes it hard to identify the exact genre of the novel.

When writing any piece of fiction, an author 's choice of narrative voice has a huge impact on how readers experience the story. From the slightly less personal yet versatile third-person to the narrow, limited view of first-person, the narrative voice literally provides the voice of literature.
