University of Michigan Fantasy and Science Fiction Website
The Fantastic in Art and Fiction
"Sponsored by Cornell Universityís Institute for Digital Collections (CIDC) this image-bank provides a visual resource for the study of the Fantastic or of the supernatural in fiction and in art. While the site emerges from a comparative literature course on the topic at Skidmore College, it is also intended to open the door to consideration of some of the constant structures and patterns of fantastic literature, and the problems they raise. In this sense, the materials presented here may find a use among students in a variety of disciplines ... Approximately 300 images from over 80 books reside in this database. They may be perused by subject via the links on the homepage and in the navigation bar at the bottom of each page."
