Fantasy and Mythology are two genres that often captivate readers with their enchanting worlds and imaginative characters. Both featuring elements of the fantastic, they can capture readers’ imaginations and offer a much needed escape into worlds where anything is possible. While sometimes borrowing from myths and legends, the Fantasy genre tends to rely more on the author’s imagination to help build up their unique worlds, whereas Mythology tends to draw more directly from ancient myths, folklore, and legends from around the world.

The rise of subgenres Afrofuturism and Afrofantasy have also woven in a rich tapestry related to African history, culture, and folklore blended with both the futuristic and the fantastic. These subgenres give readers an opportunity to experience lush and vibrant worlds or high tech and culturally rich new ideas.

Transporting readers into worlds where heroes, mythical creatures, and gods abound, all of these genres intersect to unfold epic quests, triumphant battles between good and evil, and diverse voices and cultures that enrich the reading experience. Filled with wonder and magic, these stories will enrapture readers with their ancient myths come to life, magical adventures, and exploration of diverse traditions and identities.
