Lagniappe: “For ’the making and glimpsing of Other-Worlds’: Literature of the Fantastic in the Schlobin Collection at East Carolina University"

Abstract

A new collection at East Carolina University’s Joyner Library: The James H. and Virginia Schlobin Literature of the Fantastic Collection includes fantasy, science fiction, horror, and the weird which builds, perhaps, on the uncertainty and anxiety created by the “marvelous” and the “uncanny” aspects of fantasy identified by Tzvetan Todorov (1975).
