5.0 out of 5 stars
A fine reference not to be missed,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Encyclopedia of Fantasy and Horror Fiction (Literary Movements) (Hardcover)
Any collection strong in fantasy and horror fiction will want to have this reference on hand: it adds to Facts on File's 'Literary Movements' series, providing a guide to the history and current nature of the genre and packing in entries on major writers and works. Both works and authors are covered, receiving half a page or more of detail on plots, themes, impact, and notable uses of language. From children's fantasy author Tamara Pierce to Andre Norton's extensive series titles and Garth Nix's modern dark fantasies, this is a fine reference not to be missed.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Not Free SF Reader,
By Blue Tyson "- Research Finished" (Legion clubhouse) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Encyclopedia of Fantasy and Horror Fiction (Literary Movements) (Hardcover)
A reasonable overview, it is not overly long or large, so in no way a Clute/Nicholls or anything of that magnitude. As you can probably tell, as combining two genres and trying to make something comprehensive, let alone just one, is an impossible task. However, this is new, so more up to date and not a bad overview. |
