I don't want to get hung up on semantics or the Dewey Decimal System or how "Borders" classified it's books (r.i.p.) anything like that and step on anyone's toes but Ghost and Aliens are commonly referred to as "Paranormal" while Mythical Creatures and Mystical Stuff are commonly known as "Fantasy."

We can conceive of rain, and a landscape like the US, but where rain constantly falls is slightly above the norm. Thats what I'm looking for. Things like this.

That idea of "a place where it never stopped raining" reminds me of something from the "The Illustrated Man" by
Ray Bradbury.
