Agatha Christie, born in 1890 in Torquay, Devon, England, was a pioneering and prolific writer who revolutionized the crime fiction genre. Best known for her 66 detective novels and 14 short story collections featuring iconic characters like Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple, Christie became one of the most influential authors of the Golden Age of Detective Fiction. Her personal life was marked by a mysterious 11-day disappearance in 1926 and two marriages, including a long and happy union with archaeologist Max Mallowan. Appointed Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) in 1971, Christie remains the best-selling fiction writer of all time, with over two billion copies of her books sold worldwide. Christie's innovative writing style, characterized by clever plots, intricate mysteries, and surprising twists, set her apart from other authors in the genre. She masterfully employed techniques such as the unreliable narrator and sudden plot twists, which challenged readers' assumptions and kept them engaged until the very end. By constantly pushing the boundaries of the genre, Christie established herself as the undisputed Queen of Crime. John Truby, in his book "The Anatomy of Genres," distinguishes the Detective Genre from the closely related Crime and Gangster Genres. He argues that detective novels focus more on the investigation itself, delving into the criminal's identity and motivations, rather than solely on the punishment of wrongdoing and the maintenance of social order. This emphasis on understanding the "why" behind the crime adds psychological depth to detective stories, as exemplified in Christie's "The Witness for the Prosecution." Truby also notes that in the Gangster Genre, the criminal is often portrayed as the hero, a departure from traditional roles in detective and crime fiction. While "The Witness for the Prosecution" does not strictly fall into this category, it presents a morally ambiguous situation where readers' sympathies may be divided, highlighting Christie's skill in crafting multifaceted characters and thought-provoking narratives. "The Witness for the Prosecution" showcases the vulnerabilities of the legal system and explores the ethical quandaries faced by solicitors as they balance their professional obligations with their own moral principles. Christie's manipulation of societal expectations surrounding gender roles in 1920s Britain adds an extra layer of complexity to the story, subverting traditional portrayals of women as passive and submissive in the face of male authority. Christie's gender role reversal serves as a powerful narrative device, compelling readers to reassess their assumptions about characters and their motivations. Her skillful use of societal expectations adds depth to the story's twists, making them all the more impactful and thought-provoking without relying on conventional tropes.

Welcome to the Nick Taylor Horror Show. John Truby is a widely known name in the realms of screenwriting and storytelling, having shaped the narratives of over 1,000 film scripts as a consultant. John is also the author of multiple books, including 'Anatomy of Story: 22 Steps to Becoming a Master Storyteller,' and his latest release, 'The Anatomy of Genres: How Story Forms Explain the Way the World Works,' which delves into the core elements that shape various genres, with a big focus on horror. On top of being an acclaimed author, John is also a lecturer and course creator with online courses that meticulously analyze multiple genres, and his horror/fantasy/sci-fi class is truly excellent. In today's conversation, we'll be dissecting the horror genre, from its structural elements to its primal effects on human beings. We'll explore common mistakes in horror scripts and discuss how writers can keep their horror narratives fresh and riveting. This interview is packed with insight, and we've designed it to be a tight 30-minute segment that can be easily revisited whenever you're about to embark on a new horror project, so I hope you enjoy and get a lot out of it. John is clearly the real deal when it comes to understanding genre, and I would put his work alongside Save the Cat and On Writing By Steven King when it comes to your essential intake materials.  I recommend getting his new book and downloading his horror course to get the most out of his materials.

That's why businesses―movie studios, production companies, video game studios, and publishing houses―buy and sell them. Writers who want to succeed professionally must write the stories these businesses want to buy. Simply put, the storytelling game is won by mastering the structure of genres.The Anatomy of Genres: How Story Forms Explain the Way the World Works is the legendary writing teacher John Truby's step-by-step guide to understanding and using the basic building blocks of the story world. He details the three ironclad rules of successful genre writing, and analyzes more than a dozen major genres and the essential plot events, or “beats,” that define each of them. As he shows, the ability to combine these beats in the right way is what separates stories that sell from those that don't. Truby also reveals how a single story can combine elements of different genres, and how the best writers use this technique to craft unforgettable stories that stand out from the crowd.Just as Truby's first book, The Anatomy of Story, changed the way writers develop stories, The Anatomy of Genres will enhance their quality and expand the impact they have on the world.Enjoy my conversation with John Truby.

While this film may not be listed among Pixar's Top 10, there's still plenty to love about Turning Red and we need more stories that explore these themes. From a craft perspective, Melanie sees it as a good example of how the beginning of a story sets up the end, and Valerie considers whether the red panda is a metaphor that works.
