Well, sure. I mean, that's not wrong. The thing is, though, it's so broad as a definition that it's not very much use. A Game of Thrones and The Haunting of Hill House are both stories in which the contravention of consensus reality occurs. But that's a commonality on roughly the same level as the fact that they're both novels. It's true, but it doesn't increase our understanding.
