Abstract
This conceptual article defines Mythotechnic Dark Fantasy as a mode of speculative fiction in which mythic, sacred, spiritual, and supernatural forces share a causal order with machines and institutions, while organized authorities seek to classify, mediate, reproduce, extract, weaponize, inherit, govern, or counterfeit those forces.
