I've got a genre problem

Not exactly a "problem".

I've got a few stories that seem to be between genres that I'm having a tough time classifying and thus not knowing what publications to send them to.

The best way I can describe them is Twilight Zone-esque. But not the episodes with aliens or time travel or alternate universes. It's closer to the supernatural side of things but it's not exactly horror or ghosts.

For example, one short story I have is about this book that has the answers to everything but by employing the use of these answers you have to give up something in return. There are no spirits or demons. Just a book and the MCs own reservations about using the information and determining if the price is worth the knowledge.

If someone could classify this particular story, it would definitely help on the other stories.

Thanks in advance!

Actually it does, Cathy. Thanks a bunch.

In the story, the book alludes to what the payment is but doesn't come out and say it. The MC tackles with figuring if the price is worth it throughout the piece.

So, in that sense, I'd say it's Speculative Fiction. That helps a lot.
