xxvii + 586 pp. Ex-public library copy with typical markings inside and out. Tex is clean and unmarked. Spine shows lean and the book shows edgewear but is holding up well and the binding is strong. An excellent reference.

About this title

Synopsis

First Published in 1990. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.

Reviews

The uncertain parameters of this literature have created problems for readers and librarians. The editor, noted for his guides to science fiction ( Anatomy of Wonder, LJ 11/1/76; 1987. 3d ed.), has covered over 1700 works of fiction and nonfiction. History and criticism, reference works, film and television, art, magazines, core collections, awards, and organizations are surveyed. Modern titles for children and young adults receive attention. Numerous works combining science fiction and fantasy are carefully delineated. The essays and annotated bibliographies, with their cross-referencing , expand the pioneering works of E.F. Bleiler, Guide to Supernatural Fiction ( LJ 6/1/83) and Supernatural Fiction Writers: Fantasy & Horror ( LJ 8/85). Frank Magill's Survey of Modern Fantasy Literature ( LJ 2/1/84. 5 vols.) does not cover the broad spectrum of topics. A rapidly expanding genre now has a convenient tool for collection development and evaluation. For a review of Barron's Horror Literature: A Reader's Guide, see below.--Ed.
