Soaring new writer:
Andy Duncan has only one e-book printed thus far, but absolutely everyone sees an incredibly brilliant long term for this Southern fantasist.
Lord Dunsany is arguably the best fantasist ever.
Now you can see a comprehensive bibliography of Dunsany's function arranged in many ways--by e-book
Tiffany Key Chain, by story, by what exactly is distinctive
Tiffany Diamond Rings, and so forth.
Now we've got discussion boards!

Wonderful Science-Fiction
& Fantasy Works science-fiction & fantasy literature:
a critical list with discussions Why Yet Another Science-Fiction and Fantasy List Web site?
Let's face reality: for the civilized reader, too many--most--web sites about science-fiction or fantasy literature recall American Bandstand: "Uh, wull, Dick, I give it a 86 'cause it had a good beat an' yuh could dance to it." What a single might charitably call "naive enthusiasm" abounds.
If your sensibilities suggest to you that Eric Eddison and Ernest Bramah have written better fantasy than Piers Anthony and Katherine Kurtz, or that Cordwainer Smith and M. John Harrison have written better science fiction than Robert Heinlein and Isaac Asimov, this web site should be of real interest to you; if not, you're in the wrong place.
No one particular disparages authors who lack greatness if they possess competence. But, while a cold spritzer is often welcome refreshment, when we go into a restaurant of quality and ask with the wine card, we do not expect to see Gallo Chablis or Annie Greensprings among the listings. This website seeks to be a wine card of science-fiction and fantasy literature.
For lengthy now the literati have scorned both science-fiction and fantasy books, when they have deigned to notice them at all; sad to say, the responses from within the group of science-fiction and fantasy readers (and writers) almost invariably call to mind an old saying: "I can save myself from my enemies
Tiffany Necklaces, but only God can save me from my friends." Another aim of this web site is to be a place to which science-fiction and fantasy aficionados can fearlessly send intelligent, civilized readers not familiar together with the field.
So What Have We Here?
What we've got the following is a web site dedicated to presenting works in the fields of science-fiction and fantasy--sometimes collectively called "speculative fiction"--that get high grades for literary quality without needing any bonus points just for being science fiction or fantasy. The books are judged as literature, not as "science-fiction books" or "fantasy books".
This is a big internet site
Tiffany Online, with a page total into the five-digit range. While most of those pages carry mechanical information about particular books and, in turn, particular editions of those books
Tiffany Sterling, and some duplicate the information on others but in a different arrangement, there is still a hard core of perhaps a quarter-thousand "basic" pages. A internet site so large needs a complete page just to explain what's where in a coherent way, and this site has such a page. But there are a few mechanical things you should know even ahead of you get to that page, plus there are some things about this site's raison d'etre that I would like to explain before you plunge in. So the really next page you should go on to--ignoring the Web site Directory at the bottom of this page--is the Welcome web page linked just a little below.
When first I set up this site, I wrote the following If, as a result of this website existing, but one reader finds and enjoys but one guide that that reader would likely otherwise not have come round to, I will feel satisfied that I have not labored completely in vain. The several kind emails and reviews since then have justified to me my labors, and encourage me to continue expanding the internet site. Thank you all.
