I never had a problem with High, Low, and Epic Fantasy. That probably means I misunderstood them.
High - Tolkien and the many rip-offs. Elves, Dwarves and the like
Low - Conan, Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser. Swords and Sorcery
Epic - Large cast of characters. The world is at stake
Epic Fantasy is almost always High Fantasy, but High Fantasy need not be Epic (The Hobbit, for instance)
