Books Update: Re-Working our Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Category: Le Fanu & Le Guin
*Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror: We’re continuing to introduce the new layout for this books category, with an image for each book. This week, we come to Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, one of the earliest exponents of gothic horror, and Ursula K Le Guin, the famed award-winning science fiction author. Le Fanu’s Carmilla pre-dates Dracula by twenty-six years, Carmilla is the original vampire story, steeped in sexual tension and gothic romance; here in a rare edition. Le Guin is represented by an early novel, City of Illusions, and a short story collection, The Wind’s Twelve Quarters.
