Spec. Fic. Background

According to Nalo Hopkinson, speculative fiction is “fiction in which impossible things happen” and “includes magic realism, fantasy, science fiction and horror.” I would add one caveat to that, because in science fiction those “impossible things” are, to some degree possible, and, some would argue, probable.
