there are science fiction, science fantasy, and fantasy. were wolves would fall into the latter category as would all non human beings.

sci-fi is a HUGE category. from aliens to elves, wizards to talking animals and everything in between. so, i think that werewolves can be counted as fantasy fiction, and horror like someone else said. sci-fi is interesting, because it can entertwin itself with many other different genres without getting confusing. of course, there is the basic story plot that is pretty sci-fi, and then it can venture off into different courses. horror, being one of them. so yeah, it can!

Depends. If you're a teen werewolf from a lab experiment/disease it's Scifi. If you were bitten by a werewolf, Fantasy. If the werewolf is trying to eat your family, Horror.

What all can qualify as science fiction?
I know that very technical stories like one of Jules Verne’s are science fiction, but what about stories of werewolves, etc.

Does this count as science fiction? Does it count as fantasy fiction? Is fantasy fiction a subgroup of science fiction?
