It often involves supernatural, futuristic, or other imagined elements. Overall, it must incorporate some form of the fantastic. 

Speculative fiction can include science fiction, fantasy, and horror. However it can also include more specific genres. For example, alternate history, post-apocalyptic, superhero, supernatural, utopian and dystopian. ]]> 2017-11-09 17:00:15 UTC https://padlet.com/canadianfreckles/z22av2y7awj2/wish/205379332 Atwood's View jonestars2121 https://padlet.com/canadianfreckles/z22av2y7awj2/wish/205379389 "Speculative fiction encompasses that which we could actually do.
