Cybernoir
, sometimes also referred to as
cybergoth
fiction (not to be confused with the
subcultural movement
), is a subgenre of
Science Fiction
. Though a somewhat contentious term, it is most often used to describe a combination of the
dystopian
focus of
cyberpunk
with heavy elements of
gothic fiction
and
Film Noir
. Such works often contain some elements of
detective fiction
, for example the novel
Chasm City
by
Alastair Reynolds
, or
Forests of the Night
by
S Andrew Swann
. This is one of the main features distinguishing works of such genre from cyberpunk, another being the heavy use such novels make of gothic
symbolism
, dreams etc. as well as more gothic settings. Authors arguably working in this style include
Alastair Reynolds
,
Micheal Marshall Smith
and
Peter F.
Hamilton
Cybernoir is a growing genre in
Anime
, where elements of pure
Fantasy
/
Horror
often seep in:
Hellsing
,
X/1999
and
Witch Hunter Robin
are all arguably proponents of this genre to some extent.
The
pen and paper RPG
games
Vampire the Masquerade
and
D20 Modern
/
Urbana Arcana
also contain elements of this genre.
