Alternate World Fantasy is, just as the name indicates, a fantasy story told in a world other than our own—this could be a hidden world within our own, a parallel world, a different planet even. Journeys on other worlds are mysterious and invite adventure—indeed these stories tend to be stories of adventure.
World-building is a big part of any Alternate World Fantasy tale. Authors take great pains to immerse readers in these well developed worlds. It is worth noting that Alternate World stories also have a strong tradition in Science Fiction.
