Speculative Fiction: A.K.A. "Fantastika"

I don't refer much to comedy in this blog. It's a funny thing -- comedy -- so varied based on taste (no rhyme intended).

However, I got my usual feed of speculative fiction blog / online news entries and came across this one. Clearly a tongue-in-cheek blog, Mr. Groonk came across the Russian term for speculative fiction: Fantastika. Hmmm, sounds pretty cool I agree.

He follows his comments on the term with an over-the-top quote by Warren Ellis. A bit much for my taste.

However, I concur that the term is "spiky."
