What is a high fantasy.

วันอังคารที่ 14 ธันวาคม พ.ศ. 2553 § 0

If you have read my previous article regarding what is Fantasy; you know that I define all things written, by their disconnection from reality. Fantasy fits under Speculative Fiction; which is the longest leap away from reality. However, Fantasy, despite what many think, is actually a broad genre and read far more often than many people thing. What most people consider as 'Fantasy' is better termed as 'High Fantasy'.

High Fantasy is a Sub-Genre that is known both not only for its quality and singularity of content, but indeed, its often noted for the quality and style of the actual literature. I define High Fantasy as any fantasy involving an epic conflict, and an equally epic history (termed a Mythopoeia). Often; these books are also noted for a supernatural factor, and a setting which is pre-industrial.

So what do I mean by Epic Conflict? In High Fantasy; the heroes are often pitted and arrayed against forces that threaten a nation, the whole of existence, a religion, or some other great task. Their quest, the battles they fight, take on the utmost importance, because if they fail; it means the end of not only them, but most likely everyone they have loved or cared for. Often, these conflicts are against a humanoid player for an antagonist, but sometimes not. For example, a lone sorcerer trying to end a magical drought that threatens to kill of humanity...is an epic conflict.

In addition, High Fantasy is defined by a back story that far surpasses the back cover of a book. JRR Tolkien, for instance, wrote quite a few pieces which he carefully used to craft his Mythopoeia (a term which he coined). He developed not only back-stories for his main characters, but back-stories for his minor characters, maps, histories of entire nations and peoples...he even went so far as to craft written languages for each of his major races. This sort of dedication not only builds a dedicated fan base, but is often a good source for future stories and works, and will make a work seem that much more 'complete'.

As I mentioned, often times the stories take place in a pre-industrial setting, and feature a supernatural factor (such as magic and wizardry). These elements are essential for the item to be defined as High Fantasy, instead of a subset of another Genre, for these factors (and indeed the Mythopoeia itself) help define that this world which we are experiencing is not our own.

Lastly, stylized narrative is very much apart of High Fantasy, as crucial as anything listed above. Given the amount of time and dedication spent to develop the world, equal parts of time and dedication are given over to make the narrative poetic yet enjoyable. This also goes hand in hand with the development of a Mythopoeia; as the writer is responsible for the poetry and language of the people he has Created.

Basically, what most people imagine and more, in fact, High Fantasy. Fantasia is still high can be mixed with other elements. But of course it is all his own letters.

King of Nod an epic ghost story

by Scott Fad

What does the past have to do with the future? Just about everything, and there's really no escaping it. In King of Nod by Scott Fad, readers will be immersed into the past, slammed into the present and hoping for a better future.

Sweetpatch Island, South Carolina, is steeped in history. From its earliest days as a Native American picnic spot, to its dark times of slavery and racial clash, right up to its current occupants' fascination with digging into that past and printing it book form, or looking what is dead and gone right in the eye, the past has everything to do with the future. For Boo Taylor, his life is a series of moments of digging at the truth. Finding out that his parents aren't who he thinks they are is the first step to his leaving childhood behind, and that began on the playground at school with a fistfight. Confronting Laylee Colebriar is the next step, and she holds tight to her secrets. As Boo's life progresses readers discover that he is not your usual rural kid. Laylee isn't your typical housekeeper either. Her ancient ways go back for generations. To Boo, she is a substitute mother, and so much more.

Boo bears witness to some horrible things. He pokes his nose out looking for trouble, and finds it. From the old Chaliboque mansion, to old lady Mamie Sturvant's house, wicked things are lurking and Boo tends to stir them up. Every so often a young boy will disappear on the island and rumors fly of a beast who is exacting revenge for old Joker Tribbit and his widow Bathsheba. Tribbit was lynched, stabbed and burned by an angry mob of white men and ever since, the island has been cursed. Folks say that Bathsheba was a Gullah witch and she is out for blood. The people bring blood on themselves too in their red-neck bigoted war of hatred with each other. Churches and schools are burned, people die, and faith in what they believe in is either trampled or exalted. Through it all though, perhaps because of some of it, Boo finds love. Will it be enough to break the curse of Sweetpatch Island? Will anything ever help to put all those ghosts to rest?

Scott Fad has indeed written an epic ghost story. His plot is a wicked, twisted work of art that will have readers looking at it from every angle and seeing something different every time. His characters are rich with life, full of love, torn apart by hate, and tortured by numerous evils, within and without. His style is smooth and haunting, exuding southern grace and hidden truths. With every bit of the puzzle shared there is yet another hiding in plain site, like so many pictures tacked to a wall making it hard to pick out just one image. King of Nod is one of my all time favorites.
