This exhibition is divided into six major themes that encompass and explore Canadian science fiction and fantasy. Fantastic Literature - all genres and subgenres that portray impossible or very unlikely worlds. Utopian Literature - involves societies that are radically different from our own. Alternate History - portrayals of a world where historical events have developed differently. Fantasy - where the story involves myth, legend or the supernatural.
Fantasy includes high fantasy, ghost stories, horror fiction, magic realism and surrealism.
This publication was produced in conjunction with the exhibition and contains descriptions of the exhibition's themes and a corresponding bibliography.
