We're working with some new themes, so things may be a little messy around here for a bit until it's straightened out.

Feedback would be really nice! Please comment to let us know if you like it so far. Read More

We'd like to welcome a new reviewer to our team!

TIM SCHEIDLER is finishing a degree in English literature. His friends fully expect to find him living in a cardboard box several years down the road, but Tim’s friends are silly, silly people who oughtn’t to be believed.

Some of Tim's earliest memories are of his parents reading him J.R.R. Tolkien. Exactly what prompted the introduction of Mr. Tolkien to a five-year-old is still difficult to fathom, but it had a deep impact on Tim. He has obsessed over fantasy for most of his life, so that many of his family, far from growing alarmed, actually find their way to amusement on discovering Neil Gaiman novels squirreled away in every bathroom.

Tim enjoys many authors, but particularly loves Tolkien, Gaiman, Read More

We'd like to welcome a new reviewer to our team!

MARION DEEDS is winding down a 35-year career with county government, where she met enough interesting characters and heard enough zany stories to inspire at least two trilogies’ worth of fantasy fiction. She is an aspiring writer herself and, in the 1990s, had short fiction published in small magazines like Night Terrors, Aberrations, and in the cross-genre anthology The Magic Within.

Marion's favorite fantasy authors include John Crowley, Catherynne Valente, China Miéville, Felix Gilman, Kate Griffin and Read More

We're pleased to announce that Terry Weyna is joining our staff of reviewers!

Terry is spending the second half of her life as a reviewer, critic, scholar and writer, after having spent the first half practicing law in a variety of states and settings. (She is still a lawyer, telecommuting to an Orange County, California, law firm, where she mostly does legal research and writing. This work financially supports her addiction to books.)

Since Terry was six years old, she has nearly always had a book in her hand. She favors fantasy, and especially New Weird, slipstream and highly literary works, but also reads science fiction, horror, mystery, science, biography and history. She greatly prefers the look, feel and smell of physical books to ebooks.

Terry lives in Northern California with her husband, professor and writer Fred White, the imperious Cordelia Louise Cat Weyna-White, and a personal library that exceeds 12... Read More

Sarah Chorn has been a compulsive reader her whole life, and early on found her reading niche in the fantastic genre of Speculative Fiction. She blames her active imagination for the hobbies that threaten to consume her life. She is a published photographer, world traveler and recent college graduate. Occasionally she dabbles in creative writing; her first freelance essay was published when she was sixteen years old. In her ideal world she’d do nothing but drink lots of tea and read from a never-ending pile of speculative fiction books. Among her list of favorite authors are Steven Erikson, K.J. Parker, C.S. Friedman, George R.R. Martin and Carol Berg. Sarah kee... Read More

We'd like to welcome Thomas M. Wagner of SF Reviews.net to our roll of hand-picked guest reviewers. We think Thomas has great taste and we love his reviews!

It's our goal to provide you with reviews for every author we've got on the site, while still keeping our regular staff small and personal. We're reading constantly, but we need a bit of help from some trusted bloggers whose reviews we can reprint here until we get around to reviewing those books ourselves (if ever). What this means, in practice, is that we tend to print guest reviews for books that are older or that we just didn't want to read. So, if our guest reviewers seem a bit negative, that might be due to a selection bias on our part. Thus, we encourage you to visit their blogs to see if they're really the curmudgeons that they sometimes appear to be here. Read More

Ryan Skardal teaches English literature at the high school level. He currently lives in New Jersey with many piles of books, several poorly behaved cats, and his wonderful wife. Ryan has been reading fantasy since junior high when he first borrowed Stephen King‘s The Eyes of the Dragon from the library. His high school years were largely spent reading about a Wheel of Time. Recently, his favorite author is China Mieville. As an English teacher, Ryan is required to read a wide variety of writing, but always makes time for swords and sorcery.

Welcome, Ryan! Read More

Exciting news! Starting in early April, Tor.com will run a new series of blog articles: The Malazan Re-read of the Fallen, which will be a project similar to the current Tor.com re-reads of THE WHEEL OF TIME and THE LORD OF THE RINGS, but focused on Steven Erikson's epic fantasy series, THE MALAZAN BOOK OF THE FALLEN.

Why are you announcing this here on Fantasy Literature, you ask? Well, two reasons:

1. The re-read will be hosted by two of our very own reviewers, Bill and Read More
