Epistolary novels
An epistolary novel is a story told through a series of letters, diaries, emails, or other personal documents written by characters. This format allows readers to experience the narrative directly from the perspectives of different individuals, offering insight into their thoughts and feelings. It creates a sense of intimacy and immediacy, as if the reader is privy to private conversations. Examples include classics like "Dracula" and "Frankenstein." This storytelling method provides multiple viewpoints and adds depth, making the story feel more personal and realistic.
