*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 works by Anthony Burgess, Jonathan Burke and William Burkett. A Clockwork Orange by Burgess, here in its first UK paperback edition, was made into a controversial film by Stanley Kubrick, and lives up to the book’s cover blurb: ‘Sharp, horrific, uncompromising… with a sick humour all its own.’ A story of the not too distant future where marauding gangs are fought by brainwashing psychiatry. Unforgettable. Also, Burke and Burkett provide us with a couple of examples of good old-fashioned space opera.
