For this board? Larry Send a noteboard - 04/09/2009 07:09:00 AM
Since I see few of the old OF regulars posting here, I'm going to guess several of the following will be unfamiliar to several of those now posting at the successor board:

M. John Harrison, Viriconium (omnibus); Light; The Course of the Heart; Signs of Life; Nova Swing

Hal Duncan, Vellum; Ink

Jeff VanderMeer, City of Saints and Madmen; Shriek: An Afterword; Finch (forthcoming); Veniss Underground

Brian Evenson, The Wavering Knife; Last Days

Jeffrey Ford, The Physiognomy; Memoranda; The Beyond; The Portrait of Mrs. Charbuque; The Girl in the Glass; Empire of Ice Cream; The Shadow Years

Kay Kenyon, Bright of the Sky; A World Too Near; City Without End

D.M. Cornish, Foundling; Lamplighter

Jo Graham, Black Ships; Hand of Isis

Angela Carter, Nights at the Circus; The Infernal Desire Machines of Dr. Hoffman, and so many others

Margo Lanagan, Black Juice; Red Spikes; Tender Morsels

David Petersen, Mouse Guard: Fall 1152; Mouse Guard: Winter 1152

Michael Cisco, The Tyrant; The Traitor; The San Veneficio Canon

Thomas Ligotti, Teatro Grottesco; Nightmare Factory: Volumes I and II; My Work Here is not Done

John Crowley, Little, Big; Ægypt cycle

Stepan Chapman, The Troika

Salvador Plascencia, The People of Paper

J.G. Ballard, Why the fuck aren't more people here talking about Ballard, especially since his writings have been more "prophetic" than most any other SF work of the past 50 years? - any of his collected fictions, or just Crash and The Vermillion Sands for starters.

Kelly Link, Stranger Things Happen; Magic for Beginners; Pretty Monsters

Daniel Abraham, A Shadow in Summer; A Betrayal in Winter; An Autumn War; The Price of Spring

Felix Gilman, Thunderer; Gears of the City

J.M. McDermott, Last Dragon

Kristin Cashore, Graceling; Fire

George MacDonald, Lilith

Zoran Živkovi?, The Fourth Circle; Candid Camera; The Book, The Writer, The Reader; The Bridge; Impossible Stories I and II

Milorad Pavi?, Dictionary of the Khazars; Landscape Painted With Tea; Second Body

Edward Whittemore, Shanghai Circus; the four books of the Jerusalem Quartet

Joanna Russ, The Female Man


And many, many more. Challenge: Who here has read half of these authors and/or books?
