1789
Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Genre and Rating Guide1789 functions here as a historical time marker rather than as a narrated character, object, or independently described event. Its decisive significance is contextual: the date anchors Nancy Holder's Unholy Madness France 1789 in a named historical period while the surrounding guide classifies the work as supernatural fantasy.
Historical Placement
The supplied evidence associates 1789 directly with the title Unholy Madness France 1789. The date therefore specifies the story's historical placement, and the title's reference to France indicates that the work connects its supernatural-fantasy premise to a French setting or historical context. No further scene, incident, or historical circumstance from that year is provided.
Relation to Genre
The guide assigns Unholy Madness France 1789 the code SU-S-3.5. In the guide's key, SU means supernatural fantasy, while the broader classification system also distinguishes science fiction, shootist fiction, sorcery fantasy, superhero fiction, and sleuth fiction. The date consequently operates alongside genre coding: it supplies historical orientation, while SU identifies the work's supernatural-fantasy category.
Function in the Guide
1789 is presented as part of a bibliographic entry rather than as a separately narrated chronology. The entry identifies Nancy Holder as the author, gives the title Unholy Madness France 1789, and assigns it a 3.5 rating within the guide's system. The date thus helps differentiate the work and signals a historical frame without itself supplying evidence about characters, plot developments, conflicts, or ending.
Limits of the Evidence
The available material does not establish what happens in France in 1789, which characters experience the period, or how supernatural elements interact with its historical conditions. It also does not indicate whether the date is used for realism, allegory, historical revision, or another narrative purpose. Any fuller interpretation of 1789 would require the story's text or additional bibliographic evidence.
