The stories we have read lately or at all have all been very dark, violent, or depressing. I don't really mind this because i see it as the authors showing what doesn't always get written about. You don't always get to hear about the dark places people could get into. They have written about topics not everyone wants to speak of. No, I'm not saying i want to hear about all of this but i do like seeing a different side of things. I don't really read anything now a days that doesn't have a happy ending. So it is a pleasant surprise to read something different. This doesn't mean that literary fiction is all dark it just shows they want to put out something one doesn't read everyday. So literary stories wont always be happy and upbeat as everyone expects.
Where commercial fiction mostly like will be pleasing to the whole majority of the audience They tend to be the ones to go with whats in, not write about the tough subjects. They will give the readers what they want which is a happy ending where everything works out and life goes on. Sure a few may have dark parts in them but they don't usually make you think past the surface and they aren't supposed to they are mostly just for pleasure, but admit it you can usually tell what is going to happen by the middle of the book. I'm not saying i don like commercial fiction cause I'm a sucker for a happy ending but it is nice to have a change in thinking. I like that i have to look past the surface to see what really happened.
