My thoughts on SF & Fantasy: * There are dozens of genres and sub genres in a big messy Venn diagram * pulp exists * sword-and-planet-exists * Hard SF, new wave, blah blah blah all exist * and they're all good * SF and F overlap at the margins * neither is a subset of the other

I'm trying really hard to think of a single horror story which isn't, at some level, ultimately speculative. This might just be a problem with my exposure. It would have to be non-supernatural, historical – Misery?

the essay I linked to is good > Speculative fiction is fiction in which the author speculates upon the results of changing what’s real or possible, not how a character would react to a certain event, etc. so I'd suggest that any SF that deals with already proven tech fits >>
