Modern Mythology

From Fancyclopedia 2, ca. 1959

(J. W. Campbell) The type of pure fantasy found notably in Unknown Worlds; presumably the name derived from the combination of modern-and-supernatural elements which formed the background for most of Unk's stories. Don't confuse this with Mythos.

From Fancyclopedia 1, ca. 1944

Campbell's name for the type of pure fantasy in Unknown, presumably recognizing the modern-and-supernatural elements whose two combinations are the background foremost of the stories.
