The A to Z of Fantasy Literature
Author: Brian Stableford
Publisher: Scarecrow Press
ISBN: 0810863456
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 568
Book Description
Once upon a time all literature was fantasy, set in a mythical past when magic existed, animals talked, and the gods took an active hand in earthly affairs. As the mythical past was displaced in Western estimation by the historical past and novelists became increasingly preoccupied with the present, fantasy was temporarily marginalized until the late 20th century, when it enjoyed a spectacular resurgence in every stratum of the literary marketplace. Stableford provides an invaluable guide to this sequence of events and to the current state of the field. The chronology tracks the evolution of fantasy from the origins of literature to the 21st century. The introduction explains the nature of the impulses creating and shaping fantasy literature, the problems of its definition and the reasons for its changing historical fortunes. The dictionary includes cross-referenced entries on more than 700 authors, ranging across the entire historical spectrum, while more than 200 other entries describe the fantasy subgenres, key images in fantasy literature, technical terms used in fantasy criticism, and the intimately convoluted relationship between literary fantasies, scholarly fantasies, and lifestyle fantasies. The book concludes with an extensive bibliography that ranges from general textbooks and specialized accounts of the history and scholarship of fantasy literature, through bibliographies and accounts of the fantasy literature of different nations, to individual author studies and useful websites.

The Human
Author: Adom Sample
Publisher: Blue Courting Publishing

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 221
Book Description
Reality wasn't what it seemed. For me, that day, it would all come crashing down. This world was drowning in secrecy and sorrow. Soon, I'd discover these mysteries. And why those who I'd grown to love wanted me dead. The High Priestess, Maunia Nguyen, hid a secret the Nocturnus Pinnacle did everything to suppress. The Courting bloodline was real, and I stood at the center of it. The laws of nature were crumbling around me as mystical beings beyond my understanding enticed me to seek a hidden power within myself that could bring down the Supreme Sovereign's tyrannical rule over my people. All of that, however, would be in vain. Everything I'd suffered would mean nothing in the face of a higher calling granted to me billions of years before my birth. Destiny was beckoning. The voices of the Seraph and the Vampyre would seek our unification. An all-consuming light that would bring the formation of something I never knew existed. Should I leave this world behind to pursue my fate? Or, should I defy the powers that be to save my world from ruin? The apple was to given to me by the serpent Apep, and with it, a choice. The decision I made would determine the creation or destruction of worlds. It all rested with me—Niya Courting—the Human. Includes Book 7: Mystic Beginnings Book 8: Pagans & Gods Book 9: Creation of Three Author's note: This book is a part of the COURTING MOON UNIVERSE. In this series, will you learn the importance of the Courting Moon, the Vampyre gene, and the first Earth all made possible through the will of the Omni. The history and creation of Rule of Three and the ten-mirror multiverse is revealed in this epic three part series.
