SpeculativeFiction
Last edit September 3, 2006
A term largely equivalent to
ScienceFiction
, but with a subtly more literary slant;
SpeculativeFiction
takes in
ScienceFiction
and fantasy, but also (depending on the weather)
AlternateHistory
, horror, fairytales and
MagicalRealism
. Perhaps the most useful definition is that it is any fiction which is not
MimeticFiction
.
