What's your vision of the future of man? These are the great forms of speculative fiction, and they can be tremendously creative. Horror shows people at their worst, in decay, ridden with guilt by ghosts from the past, chased by monsters that are of their own making. Fantasy may be the happiest of all the genres because it is about possibilities, both personal and social. Science fiction gives us a vision of the future of the human race. This groundbreaking 5-hour HORROR, FANTASY, AND SCIENCE FICTION COURSE gives you the tools and structures to make these most "high concept" of all genres real and original.
