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.

Store description
In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into to a global company pioneering the circular economy. Today, we drive the circular economy through three re-commerce brands:
- Wob: Through Wob, we sell. We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused.
- Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media.
- Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we’re helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.
