About this list

When compiling our list of the best fantasy listening out there, we immediately came up against the age-old question: Is this fantasy or science fiction? The distinction is not as clear as you may think. Dragons, elves, and wizards are definitely fantasy, but what about wizards that also fly space ships? (Looking at you, Star Wars.) For the sake of fantasy purity, the top 100 fantasy listens include the best audio works in all manner of fantasy subgenres, including urban fantasy, high fantasy, sword and sorcery, LitRPG, young adult, classics, and paranormal. You'll find journeys to new realms, wintry castles, warring warrens, traveling circuses, and even heaven and hell. All with the best narration that human imagination can muster.
