Technical Difficulties

Not that there's anything wrong with the fatastique, of course. But when you apply those tools to modern genre fantasy, you're not going to get the result you get if you apply them to, say, The Turn of the Screw. And this leads some scholars to treat modern genre fantasy like it's a broken version of the fantastique rather than something else - a field in its own right, with its own codes and ways of functioning. Which was kind of Attebery's point.
