Can you give more words other than the common ones for fiction?

Episodes can be regarded as parts of a story or as a story in itself in some cases.

Sure. 'As the sun dipped below the horizon'. This gives a sense of time and can set a mood, perhaps a bit of melancholy or the start of something mysterious at twilight. 'Underneath the old oak tree' is a good one too. It focuses on a specific location and can make the reader curious about what might be associated with that tree, like a hidden treasure or a secret meeting place.

Galley. It's not as well - known as some other words ending in'story', but it exists.

Heart - string novels. Because these novels often tug at the heart - strings of readers with their emotional stories of love.

Sure, "romance" can be considered as a synonym in the context of fictional love stories. Another one could be "saga", which is often used for long and complex fictional tales.

Sure. How about 'felony fiction'? It's not as common but can be used. Also 'criminal - case fiction' could work.

Yarns. This is a more informal way of referring to stories, often used when the story might be a bit tall or exaggerated, like sailors telling yarns about their adventures at sea.

Sure. 'Abysmal' can be used to describe a deep, dark, and seemingly bottomless place, like an abysmal pit that swallows everything. 'Bleak' is also good. It gives a feeling of coldness and hopelessness, as if there's no way out. For example, a bleak, desolate landscape in a horror story.

Well, there are 'haunting' which gives the idea that the story stays with the reader long after it's been read. 'Gripping' is another one, just like 'enthralling', it makes the reader hold on tight to the story. Also, 'riveting' which means extremely interesting and holding one's attention firmly. The story might be about a mystery or an adventure, and these words would be very suitable to describe how it draws the reader in. It's not just about the plot, but also how the characters are developed and the setting is described that can make a story 'riveting'. For example, a story set in a post - apocalyptic world with complex characters fighting for survival can be 'riveting' as it combines elements of danger, hope, and human nature.

Malevolent. This word gives a strong sense of evil intention. For example, 'A malevolent spirit haunted the old well, causing misfortune to anyone who came near.' It makes the ghost seem more threatening.
