Selected papers from the Academic Conferences on Canadian Science Fiction and Fantasy, held from 2005 to 2013, examine authors and themes of Canadian sci fi and fantasy literature and TV; authors discussed include Tanya Huff, Peter Watts, Rikki Ducnornet, and Michael Rowe. After two keynote addresses, papers are grouped in sections on Canadian science fiction, Canadian fantasy and dark fantasy, and non-literary forms of the fantastic, such as Scott Pilgrim comics and film. Subjects include the evolution of women on Supernatural, the Northern Ontario Gothic, the supernatural subaltern in Kelley Armstrong’s Otherworld, and themes of nation and colonization in Nalo Hopkinson’s Midnight Robber.
