One of the most transgressive horror novels you'll ever read. I loved how much I hated it ... or hated how much I loved it, I'm not sure which!
Here's Reynolds making space opera truly operatic in scope. Enormous concepts!
This isn't simply a book ... it's an experience ... it can’t be read like any other novel ... it forces you into a very strange reading interaction!
Wyndham had a very distinct voice and occupies an important position in the history of British SF. This is one of his very best novels.
This is ... a fictional autobiography of ... one. of. the greatest ... science fiction ... characters of all time! (You get that I wrote that with Shatner delivery style, yes?).
Quite simply the most beautifully-written short horror stories I have ever read.
A classic from the golden age of horror. Of course you've seen the movie ... but read the novel ... it's fantastic!
I really love horror novels from the 1970s ... even the trashy ones. This, though, is a top of league contribution to the genre. Brilliant!
I don't know what it is about dense jungles but I always find them very enjoyable to read about (but not to be in). This is a superb example of the jungle genre (is it a genre?).
Moorcock is an unbelievably good builder of worlds. His sprawling fantasy landscapes are unforgettable. This, though, is a much more claustrophobic offering, and it's simply tremendous.
