What Is Fantasy?

Fantasy is going beyond the limits of human understanding. It can involve the creation of entirely new or alternate worlds (such as those in Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter) or may only possess certain elements of that beyond our comprehension (for example, Stephen King's "Salem's Lot" involves a seemingly ordinary and quite realistic town being overrun by vampires. The basis of fantasy is the supernatural.

My favorite works/authors of fantasy:
Harry Potter
Stephen King

  1. 'Salem's Lot is my favorite Stephen King book. I would say the best but I haven't read all of them.
