Posted Hide Post I think your question may be lost in translation, though your spelling is impeccable. What do you mean by "fantasy aspect." Do you mean, what sub-genre of the overarching fantasy does Coraline fall under? __________ AJGraeme "You see, I have a policy about honesty and ass-kicking: if you ask for it, I have to let you have it." -Taylor Mali "Science is the foot that kicks magic square in the nuts." -Scratch Fury

Posted Hide Post There is a sense of magical realism to the book - the implication that events of the book are no more magical than going on holiday in Brighton - but I think it's mostly in the tropes and images used. The idea of Other Mother is almost cliched, although this one's a bit more original, for starters. __________ AJGraeme "You see, I have a policy about honesty and ass-kicking: if you ask for it, I have to let you have it." -Taylor Mali "Science is the foot that kicks magic square in the nuts." -Scratch Fury
