The warlocks and ghosts of fantasy film haunt our popular culture,
but the genre has too long been ignored by critics. This
comprehensive critical survey of fantasy cinema demonstrates that
the fantasy genre amounts to more than escapism. Through a
meticulously researched analysis of more than a century of fantasy
pictures--from the seminal work of Georges Melies to Peter
Jackson's recent tours of Middle-earth--the work identifies
narrative strategies and their recurring components and studies
patterns of challenge and return, setting and character. First
addressing the difficult task of defining the genre, the work
examines fantasy as a cultural force in both film and literature
and explores its relation to science fiction, horror, and fairy
tales. Fantasy's development is traced from the first days of film,
with emphasis on how the evolving genre reflected such events as
economic depression and war. Also considered is fantasy's
expression of politics, as either the subject of satire or fuel for
the fires of propaganda. Discussion ventures into the subgenres,
from stories of invented lands inhabited by fantastic creatures to
magical adventures set in the familiar world, and addresses clashes
between fantasy and faith, such as the religious opposition to the
Harry Potter phenomenon. From the money-making classics to
little-known arthouse films, this richly illustrated work covers
every aspect of fantasy film.

through the backwoods of Maine, said to be the haunt of all who
have died there. Not the best place for your car to break down!
ALEX is the dazed survivor of an auto-wreck, assisted by OWEN, a
young African-American recovery driver with his own reasons to fear
these eerie backroads. But with a storm closing in, floodwaters
have blocked the road back to town, forcing Alex and Owen to take
the long, treacherous route back through the Coffin Road. They are
pursued by a malevolent specter with a crooked neck. Who is he? And
why does he want to own Alex body and soul? What other secrets lay
hidden in these woods? Alex and Owen must journey through this
shadow world and unravel its many mysteries before the Coffin Road
buries them forever!
