fantasy is a genre that uses magic and other supernatural forms an a primary element of plot, theme, and/or setting. the genre is usually associated with the overall look, feel and themes of the European early middle ages(including architecture, dress and technology), while the actual setting is often a fictional plane or planet where magic and magical beings are commonplace. fantasy is generally distinguished from science fiction and horror by the expectation that it steers clear of technological and macabre themes, respectively, though there is a great deal of overlap between the three (collectively known as speculative fiction). in this broadest sense, fantasy comprises works by many writers, artists, filmmakers, and musicians, from ancient myths and legends to may recent works embraced by wide audience today.
