Long ago I read a story in a science fiction magazine that was not very much science fiction, if at all.

It was justified as sort of a "lost world" story set about 25 miles from New York City among a reclusive mixed blood group the "Jackson whites" or Ramapough Mountain Indians. It seemed like a perfectly realistic and naturalistic story to me except that I didn't know how accurately the group was depicted.

It as definitely what could be called a "genre bending" story.

I guess that under some circumstances it would be possible to have a story published as fantasy that had as little fantasy as this story had science fiction.
