					<description><![CDATA[For those who were not around at the time, it is perhaps difficult for modern film buffs to realise how unappreciated some of the genre films now seen as classics were. I saw Blade Runner with only two of us in the cinema (I hated it, but it is now one of my favourite films&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In a relatively short time, Nat Cassidy has become a Name in the horror genre. With three novels to his name, he’s become the cream of the crop of horror writers. Not just anybody gets Stephen King to write an introduction to their short story collection, but Nat Cassidy did. Nat’s also quite vocal outside&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[You might know that we are huge (HUGE!) fans of Steven Erikson and his Malazan Book of the Fallen series &#8211; ten books of a completed series (although there are novellas and prequels in the pipeline as well!) Generally we regard them as one of the finest fantasy series in recent decades &#8211; no pressure,&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[From the beloved creator of the wildly popular Sam O’Nella Academy YouTube channel, an irreverent and timely science fiction collection that offers a wry look at the not-so-distant future. A hyper advanced alien race seemingly solves all existential threats—no climate change, no nuclear weapons, no singularity crisis&#8230;and yet, in crisis we remain. Because humans are&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The ginormous success over the last couple of years of the Legends and Lattes series has been a pleasant surprise. For the uninitiated, the Legends and Lattes novels use many Fantasy elements, but instead of being Grimdark, gritty and visceral, are nice pleasant reads, often involving things readers want and wish to be at –&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This was written in 2025 for a non-genre Book Group, who asked me why I read Science Fiction and Fantasy. This was my response, slightly edited. I thought others might be interested; it is a sort of call-to-arms, if you like. Mark It was once said that “the golden age of science-fiction (for a SF&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[For many people (including me) in Britain, Hammer Horror movies have been an essential part of our genre lives, something that often began our interest in horror films. I still remember with some degree of clarity watching Hammer Horror double bill movies in the late 1970s and early 1980s on BBC2 on a Friday or&#8230;]]></description>

His most recent books have moved into the adult market, with his urban fantasy ‘Left-handed Booksellers’ series (reviewed HERE and HERE) and his dark fantasy collection, Sir Hereward and Mister Fitz, which I reviewed HERE&#8230;]]></description>
