| Sites about Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror |
- Locus Online
-- a great resource, and check out the Links Portal.
- The
Fantasy Book List, a bibliography of almost every fantasy
writer I have ever heard of and some that I've never seen before. No
listing for a certain K.D. Link though...
- NESFA,
the New England Science Fiction Association, is one of the oldest SF
clubs in the Northeast US.
- The
Internet Top 100 Science Fiction / Fantasy Reading List,
updated weekly, now you can know what everyone likes to read and maybe
pick up a title or two for summer vacation.
- The
Bram Stroker Awards, The HORROR WRITERS ASSOCIATION (HWA)
gives the Bram Stoker Awards for Superior Achievement annually. This
page lists everything you wanted to know about the award and who their
mother's optician was. Quite complete with a list of winners and nominees
in every category.
- The
Recommended Fantasy Author Page is a good recommendation
of authors and a brief bibliography of their work as well as a synopsis
of the work. The bad side of the page is that it is a very big file
to down load. I found it very informative.

| Sites on Books in General |
- Literary Trail of Greater Boston If you aren't familiar
with the Literary Trail, please check out their website.
- Soon's
Historical Fiction Site is worth the price of admission.
His site encompasses quite a lot and is very extensive. If this
is your field, your interest, you must know about this resource.
He covers authors ranging from Alexander Dumas and Victor Hugo
to Dorothy Dunnett and Patrick O'Brian. I cannot recommend this
site enough!
- The New York Times
Book Section on the Web is a great resource for current
book info. They have on line audio interviews and other neat
stuff like that.
- Literary
Lists is just that, a site under the UPenn auspices
that has lists of lists of literary winners. If you are looking
for a good book to read, click here and try any the of the above.
- The Library of Congress
is the Library of Congress. 'Nuff said.

Fantasy, a publisher that is putting out almost exclusively

selection of other sites to explore as well as a listing of upcoming
books.

M. Grant, a small press publisher that does the Stephen
King Dark Tower Books (which we keep in stock).
- Small
Beer Press, publishers of Kelly Link, Carol Emshwiller,

Plus, they have an impressive Web Site.
- Wildside,
A Science Fiction Resource, Small Press, Floor Wax and Non-Dairy Creamer
all in one! Well, it doesn't work as well as the last two.

REALLY well.

Cadigan
If you consider
your self a cyber punk fan and you have not read anything by her, you
are a poser!! Her web page is cool as well.
The
Pat Cadigan Home Page -- while this is not an author
maintained page, it is a really good one with the info and looks of
high quality that does not let you down.

the Beach and Trustee from the Tool Room as well as
