A guide to the best writers of science fiction, fantasy and horror in print. From the classic scientific romances of H.G. Wells to the postmodern futures of William Gibson's novels, from the Gormenghast trilogy of Mervyn Peake to Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time sequence, from Bram Stoker's Dracula to Stephen King's Carrie, this guide points the reader in the direction of the finest genre writing from both sides of the Atlantic. More than two hundred authors and nearly fourteen hundred titles are listed.

The guide also introduces an introductory survey of the genres by John Clute, a discussion with Michael Marshall Smith of possible developments in SF, Peter F. Hamilton attempting the impossible in defining SF and characteristically individual pieces by Robert Rankin and Neil Gaiman. Anne McCaffrey shares her thoughts on the genres, Ramsey Campbell chooses his ideal bookshelf of horror fiction and Stephen Baxter lists his favourite short stories of all time.

Whatever style of science fiction, fantasy and horror you enjoy, Waterstone's Guide is an unmissable survey of the best work currently available in the genres.
