  9. Paranormal is the melting pot of several sub-genres that got large enough to form it's own home. Generally speaking, Paranormal is urban fantasy that limits itself generally to ghosts, vampires, werewolves, shifters, and other creatures. It should be noted that Paranormal has strongly established tropes in its sub-genres. The meta-humans in Paranormal are not typically monsters. You'll find the monster versions of these meta-humans in Horror. Research of your chosen sub-genre is strongly advised.
