Books Update: Re-Working our Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Category: Banister-Blaylock
*Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror: We’re continuing to introduce the new layout for our books categories, with an image for each book. This week, we return to our Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror category, with re-listings for authors from Banister-Blaylock. All three branches of this category are represented, from relatively obscure pulp era and later science fiction authors such as Manly Banister, Ben Barzman, Barrington Bayley and Eando Binder, through to more famous authors such as Lloyd Biggle Jr (including a new-in Nebula Awards anthology edited by him) and Michael Bishop with his tour de force time travel novel No Enemy But Time, then on to horror from Charles Beaumont with an uncommon collection of stories (The Edge) and fantasy from Peter S Beagle (The Last Unicorn) and James Blaylock. There’s even a genre hybrid: the excellent A Scent Of New-Mown Hay from the wonderful John Blackburn which combines science fiction and horror; highly recommended. Several are pictured here. Full details as always are given in our catalogue.
