Introduction Th e very recent report on Polish teen readers, prepared by Zofi a Zasacka from the Educational Research Institute in Warsaw, has shown that the literature of the fantastic—fantasy, SF, horror, Gothic novels, thrillers, paranormal romanc- es, speculative fi ction, dystopias, or vampire novels—constitutes the common experience of Polish young audiences regardless of gender, social, and eco- nomic diff erences (Zasacka: 86). As teen readers’ comments cited in the report indicate, many of them associate the decisive point in the development of their reading biographies with becoming acquainted with fantasy fi ction (25). Za- sacka also stresses the formation of a canon of teen fantastic reads (104) that includes—understandably—J. K. Rowling, Stephenie Meyer, Suzanne Collins, and George R. Martin, as well as—most consistently—J. R.R. Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, Terry Pratchett, Terry Goodkind, and Stephen King. Th e participants of the survey also mention such Polish authors as Andrzej Sapkowski, Jacek Piekara or Andrzej Pilipiuk. As this canon reveals, the literature of the fantastic is in fact a markedly cross-over phenomenon: young readers oft en become in- terested in authors writing for adult audiences. In broader terms, as suggested by the heated debate initiated by Ruth Graham’s Th e Slate Book Review article from 2014, “Against YA,” followed by A.O. Scott in Th e New York Times Maga- zine (“Th e Death of Adulthood in American Culture”) and Christopher Beha in Th e New Yorker (“Henry James and the Great Y.A. debate”), the traditional age distinctions in literature readership have become obsolete in view of the cultural “erosion adulthood” (Scott n.p.). Obviously, the popularity of the liter- ature of the fantastic among young and adult readers has also grown as a result of its turning into an invaluable and evidently unlimited resource for enter- tainment industry. Th is is obviously the case because of the FX potential of the fantastic genres translated into the medium of fi lm or the video game. More fundamentally, as Brian Attebery points out in relation to fantasy in his 2014 Stories about Stories: Fantasy and the Remaking of Myth, the enduring appeal of this genre, as well of the fantastic mode in general, stems from its “adapt- ability to changing intellectual currents and its applicability to a host of social needs” (Attebery 2014: 6). Rosemary Jackson much earlier also pointed to the potential of the fantastic to express and “compensate for a lack resulting from cultural constraints” (Jackson 1981: 3). Yet we also agree with Rosemary Jack- 8 Justyna Deszcz-Tryhubczak son, who much earlier pointed to the potential of the fantastic to express and “compensate for a lack resulting from cultural constraints” (Jackson 1981: 3). In times of the global challenges posed by environmental disasters, religious fundamentalisms, irresolvable military confl icts and economic crises, the fan- tastic undoubtedly off ers both escape from and critical engagement with the troubles of the real. It is no wonder then that the fantastic remains a signifi cant interest for lit- erary scholars, including children’s literature specialists. Suffi ce it to mention Anna Klaus’s Child Saviours
