According to Nalo Hopkinson, speculative fiction is “fiction in which impossible things happen” and “includes magic realism, fantasy, science fiction and horror.” I would add one caveat to that, because in science fiction those “impossible things” are, to some degree possible, and, some would argue, probable.

Future Plans for This Section

  • Definitions of speculative fiction and it’s sub-genres.
  • Sub-sections devoted to each sub-genre.
  • Curriculum assistance for those who wish to use speculative fiction in the classroom.
