Fantasy subgenres

The modern fantasy genre has spawned many new subgenres with no clear counterparts in the mythology or folklore upon which the tradition of fantasy storytelling is based, although inspiration from mythology and folklore remains a consistent theme. Since the rise of popular fantasy fiction in the twentieth century, the fantasy genre has subdivided into a number of branches.
