Many people equate fantasy with epic quest narratives, but there are also certainly well-known works of fantasy -- Crowley's LITTLE, BIG, for instance -- centered on home and the family. Ghost stories, which nearly always concern family relationships and secrets, are probably the most obvious subgenre in this category; what others can we think of? Who's writing domestic fantasy, and how does the fantastic allow writers to address domestic concerns in ways that realism wouldn't? (Susan Palwick)
