A fictional universe is usually differentiated from the setting of, and the cosmology established by, ancient or modern legends, myths and religions, although there are countless fictional universes that draw upon such sources for inspiration.

 Fictional realm   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Fictional realms are settings - countries, planets, universes, multiverses or alternative or parallel realities, in which one or more stories are set.
It can be argued that every work of fiction generates a world of its own (Robert A. Heinlein coined the neologism Ficton to refer to such a world) but to qualify as a fictional, alternative reality the setting should be distinct and germane to the stories told there.
By their very nature, fantasy and science fiction tend to generate fictional realms, but they may also apply to other types of stories where the time and place in which stories are set invokes a sense of a world apart and unique to the purpose of casting the tales told in it.

 JAMES ELLROY: My Dark Places - BETWEEN THE LINES   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
My Dark Places, instead feeds his long obsession with the incident that would shape his perspective, fuel his obsession and leave him revelling in the steamy and sordid underbelly of American 'white trash' redneck life.
In contrast, My Dark Places is written with the detachment of a coroner, the commentary of a private detective with a blood hound sensibility and the pain and torment of a man scribing his memoirs.
It is also the tale of a man who - possibly until his dying day - will continue to try to understand who she was and why she was viciously snatched from him.

The Dictionary of Imaginary Places is an entertaining book which gives brief synopses of a wide range of fantastic (but not science fictional) realms which may provide jaded (or not-so-jaded) readers with a launching point for the discovery of new authors, new books and new worlds.
