*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 John Buchan, Algis Budrys and Kenneth Bulmer. John Buchan, more famous as a spy/thriller writer (The 39 Steps) is represented here by The Gap In The Curtain, a supernatural tale of future vision, which is Volume 17 in the Dennis Wheatley Library of the Occult. The American/Lithuanian Algis Budrys is a powerful writer touching on political and social themes extrapolated to future scenarios; two sets of short stories (The Furious Future is new in and particularly strong) and one novel included here. The extremely prolific Kenneth Bulmer seemed to be around forever, writing from the 1950s to the 1980s and produced over 160 novels and countless short stories and comic stories. He mainly wrote science fiction, but also dipped into fantasy. We have a small selection of his more vintage work listed in our catalogue, together with a later novel The Diamond Contessa (new in) plus one volume of the anthology series New Writings in SF (#24) which he took over from John Carnell following the latter’s death. Full details as always in our catalogue.
