Description
Terry Pratchett: Fantasy, Humor and…
While Pratchett’s novels are often described as wacky and zany, these descriptions only fit the early entries in his Discworld series. His later works have depth of characterization, humor and honest-to-goodness storytelling. These have made the British writer one of the top-selling authors in the world.
Collecting Jack Vance
One of the giants of modern science fiction, Vance’s works repay the reader’s attention. Like one of his own favorite authors, P. G. Wodehouse, Vance’s books can be reread many times. If Leigh Brackett represents the meat and potatoes of interplanetary fiction, then Jack Vance is the caviar.
Richard Laymon – A Writer’s Tale
When horror writer Richard Laymon died of a massive heart attack in 2001, it brought to an end a career that produced more than 30 novels in 20 years. Commenting on his life as a writer, he once said, “Some readers hate my books.” Others love them—in a way.
