Some of you may like this interview with Arthur Conan Doyle, he explains why he created the Sherlock Holmes novels
Rough summary: previously the detective genre had detectives ultimately point out the perpetrator without actually explaining to the reader how and why they came to this conclusion, i.e. the detectives and perpetrators were simple roles in a story, and the story never actually described the process of investigation, which the Sherlock Holmes novels did, irrespective of whether they were realistic or not... Then he starts ranting about spirituality and ghosts and other quackery, like his own "experiences", ... I guess fantasy has its positives and negatives
