Description
Fantasy is a genre that relies on magic and other supernatural elements as central features of its plot, themes, or settings. It is generally distinguished from science fiction and horror by its avoidance of technological and macabre themes, though there is considerable overlap between these genres, collectively referred to as speculative fiction or science fiction/fantasy.
In its broadest sense, fantasy encompasses the works of many writers, artists, filmmakers, and musicians, spanning from ancient myths and legends to contemporary works that have captured the imaginations of a wide audience, including young adults, as represented by the works listed below.
