This is why I tend to agree with @Meadow that it's better to see AH as a 'setting' rather than a 'genre' - not only can it not be pinned down so easily, but AH elements can be used in a wildly diverse range of writings; one could easily define genres within AH, or say that a work falls into a standard genre (spy thriller, travelogue, romance) but uses an AH setting or AH elements.
It's true that any historical fiction technically counts as AH if it makes up places/people/battles - and thus Hammer Horror becomes a studio full of AH worlds!
I have some thoughts on that question, far too long to fit into a reply here. Maybe I should turn them into an article...This is why I tend to agree with @Meadow that it's better to see AH as a 'setting' rather than a 'genre' - not only can it not be pinned down so easily, but AH elements can be used in a wildly diverse range of writings; one could easily define genres within AH, or say that a work falls into a standard genre (spy thriller, travelogue, romance) but uses an AH setting or AH elements.
