Summary/Abstract: The communication of literature with extraordinary fantastic events is ancient and evoked back in time to the emergence of myths and other oral forms. Orality, mythology, legends, fairy tales, which are the first forms through which the human consciousness has passed, have produced the path through which fantastic literature has passed. In Albanian literature, fantastic literature as a genre is usually partially manifested, not as the first intention of the author, but as representative elements with the function of illustration and insight into the psyche and sociological knowledge of the Albanian people. These fantastic elements, mainly concentrated within the mythological domain as myths and mythological figures, find their way of amplification in the novel "Black Wednesday" by Agron Tufa, from which folk elements, either as psychic content or lexical-phraseological structure, take their typical fantasy forms and colors and basically the whole novel takes on the nature of a fantasy novel. With "Black Wednesday", Tufa's creativity, diverse in terms of literary genre production, goes beyond only real Albanian stories, proving the role of imagination, which as Tufa himself says that "if imagination has created the world, then it is its duty to lead it". Therefore, pointing to Todorov's theoretical principles and classifications for the fantastic genre, this paper will aim to identify, classify and analyze the fantastic themes that the novel produces.
