From Wikipedia, fantasy fiction

• Fantasy is a genre that uses magic and other
  supernatural forms as a primary element of plot,
  theme, and/or setting. The genre is usually
  associated with the overall look, feel and themes
  of the European Middle Ages (including
  architecture, dress and technology), while the
  actual setting is often a fictional plane or
  planet where magic and magical beings are
  commonplace.

(continued)

• Fantasy is generally distinguished from science
  fiction and horror by the expectation that it
  steers clear of technological and macabre themes,
  respectively, though there is a great deal of
  overlap between the three (collectively known as
  speculative fiction).
