Sebastian asked Christine Feehan:

What is the difference between a light novel and “serious literature?” I see it referenced in older discussions of books but can’t find anything specific on it and everything I do find relates to manga. What is the difference? Is something like psycho by Robert Bloch considered light? Or short stories by Robert aickman or Charles Beaumont? Or is that serious literature?

Christine Feehan This, like any other kind of art and entertainment, is subjective. It's a great topic for a group discussion. There are many wonderful groups here on Goodreads. You may want to find an appropriate group for discussion on this topic.
