A fictional book is a non-existent story
Fiction
Fiction is any story that contains events that are not real, ones that are imagined and invented by the author. Most comic books are fiction, as are many mysteries, romance novels and works of science fiction. The stories can be fun and playful or serious and dark. In fiction, children can rule over adults and dogs can talk.
Fiction may also contain real elements that make it believable. The story might be the author’s invention, but the location or a historical event is a real one. Overall, it is still considered fiction, even with elements that are found in reality.
There are three main elements to works of fiction. Every work of fiction has character, plot and setting. Without these elements, there could not be an effective story. Even though it is not usually considered an element of fiction, the imagination and creativity of the author is crucial to a good story. A great author can draw you completely into their story and have you believe that everything in the story is possible – and something you never want to end.
