From there, you can add the "Fantasy" tag you want to all of them, and remove all the extras, like "fantasy epic", "fantasy & fiction", "fiction & fantasy", etc...

It's pretty easy, since just typing the first letters - "fan" - makes all those others present pop up, and you can just select them to delete them, and then OK, and it's done in a swoop.
Even Easier

In the Tag editor:
"Rename the tag to an Existing one.
If the title has the old tag only, it fixes all the books with that tag.
If the destination tag already exists for a title, the old one is just deleted
