The fantastic represents a wide and heterogeneous field in literary, cultural, and media studies. Encompassing some of the field's foremost voices such as Fred Botting and Larissa Lai, as well as exciting new perspectives by junior scholars, this volume offers a mosaic of the fantastic now. The contributions pinpoint and discuss current developments in theory and practice by offering enlightening snapshots of the contemporary Anglophone landscape of research in the fantastic. The authors' arguments and analyses thus give new impetus to the field's theoretical and methodological approaches, its textual materials, its main interests, and its crucial findings. »Durch die Kombination von theoretischen und literaturkritischen Beiträgen bietet der Band einen Einblick in die sehr heterogenen Perspektiven auf aktuelle Fantasy und regt auf diese Weise zum Weiterdenken an.« Thomas Bitterlich, Jahrbuch der GKJF (2019) »Das Buch ist vor allem deswegen lesenswert, weil die Autoren aus so vielen verschiedenen Ländern stammen und weil sie sich zu einem großen Teil mit Werken und Themen befassen, über die anderswo kaum etwas zu lesen ist.« Franz Rottensteiner, Quarber Merkur, 119 (2019)
