Hybrid Genre is a genre in fiction that blends themes and elements from two or more different genres. A hybrid genre occurs when an author or other creative professional attempts to merge two or more genres. While elements of one genre might be stronger in the work, the professional still abides by the guiding rules of both genres. Science fiction and fantasy are two genres that are often merged by fiction writers.
