Dimensions of the Fantastic

By Daniel Ferreras Savoye

Dimensions of the Fantastic Horror & Mystery

Dimensions of the Fantastic

0 - Default Title
Description
"Not to be confused with fantasy or the supernatural, the fantastic is in actuality its own beast and perhaps the most deeply frightening of all narrative modes. From Dracula and Nightmare on Elm Street, to Carrie and Them, the evolution of the fantastic reveals a growing consciousness of social and racial issues. It has become an ideal vehicle to denounce deep cultural dysfunctions that affect not only the way we understand reality, but also how we construct it. This work studies the various dimensions of the fantastic, examining the influences of icons like Lovecraft and Harry Dickson, films such as Jordan Peele's Get Out, and novels like Guy de Maupasasant's The Horla. It explains why the fantastic is not about ghosts or monsters, but the incomprehensible sides of our own reality, and the terrifying unknown."--
