True Fiction

I have come to realise that i love 'true fiction' ( if there could be such a thing ). By that i mean, fiction that is true to the word - stories about jungles inhabited by ancient 'intelligent' apes - Congo by Michael Crichton - people from other 'levels' coming to our world - Insomnia by Stephen King - and 'creatures/people' from other dimensions - Atlantis by Greg Donegan.

Such novels are very interesting despite the inherent obviousness of their being fiction, in the truest sense of the word. Of course, they seem ridiculous in retrospect, but when one is reading through, they are highly entertaining.
