Portal Fantasy

In portal fantasy, the characters are typically normal people who have traveled through a doorway of some sort into a fantastic world. The doorway need not be an actual door: the portal could be a book, talisman, or magic mirror. These journeys aren’t always by choice, and in some portal fantasies, the quest to find a way to return to the “real” world may become the story’s primary narrative.
