With the central goal of both reflecting and actively shaping the scientific debates surrounding the fantastic as a cultural formation, the ZFF is starting 2018 within the OLH with new ideas and technical means into a new, colorful, and exciting future. The Zeitschrift für Fantastikforschung (ZFF) is the only peer-reviewed journal in the German-speaking world dedicated exclusively to the fantastic. As the official organ of the Society for Fantastic Research, the ZFF publishes articles on science fiction, fantasy, horror, utopia, dystopia, fairy tales, and related areas. The journal is explicitly interdisciplinary.
