Fantasy is distinguished from the genres of science fiction and horror fiction, horror by the respective absence of scientific or macabre themes, although these genres overlap.

Science fiction, in literature, film, television, and other media, has bec ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
