Balas #7 sixret\ catat
urban fantasy = Since ancient times, the supernatural has captivated storytellers and their audiences. Some of the earliest surviving literary forms—myths and folktales—feature such preternatural beings as gods, ghosts, fairies, witches, or vampires living among humans. Today, this fascination exists in the current boom in urban fantasy, a genre defined by John Clute and John Grant in their Encyclopedia of Fantasy (1997) as “texts where fantasy and the mundane world interact, intersect, and interweave throughout a tale which is significantly about a real city.”
http://www.libraryjournal.com/
high fantasy = the epitome of high fantasy is J. R. R. Tolkien's Lord Of The Rings trilogy. So, let's start by listing its prominent elements:
A targetted audience of adults or teens, not children
A made-up world (or continent, or at least country)
Made-up cultures, sometimes with made-up languages and religions
Medieval technology, often with a feudal social structure
Magic, often practiced by wizards and the like
Non-human races like elves and dwarves
Monsters like trolls and mythical creatures like unicorns
A pantheon of gods who meddle in human affairs
Epic battles of good and evil
Earth men allowed, but no interstellar travel
