For the purpose of providing a working definition of the term “contemporary fiction,” we’re offering the following less-than-fully serious suggestion: contemporary fiction contains no vampires, werewolves, zombies, time-travelers, shape-shifters, succubi, wizards, warlocks, dragons, bows, arrows, aliens or robots. YMMV.
