Summary/Abstract: On the example of contemporary American fantasy series, this article aims to show that the question of the supernatural assumes an ambiguous form, which is always more difficult to define and to circumscribe, as there are iterations on its themes. Moreover, we shall see that these series undermine the principles of the fantastic, as defined by Todorov.
