SFandFantasy.co.uk is a collection of bibliographies listing books by Science Fiction and Fantasy authors. The long-term aim of the site is to include illustrated listings for a wide range of authors and series.
The site currently includes listings for:
- Richard C. Meredith
- Philip E. High
- Isaac Asimov
- J.R.R. Tolkien
- Fighting Fantasy
- Venture Science Fiction
More will be added when time allows.
Richard C. Meredith (1937-1979) wrote science fiction novels and short stories in the 1960s and 70s. Never a prolific author, his unexpected death in 1979, at the age of just 41, came just as his writing career was beginning to flourish, with the publication of The Timeliner Trilogy by Playboy Press and an expansion of his repertoire into ghost stories.
Philip E. High (1914-2006) began to write science fiction short stories in the mid-50s, and was still writing when he died over fifty years later. His long writing career resulted in an extensive list of short stories published in magazines such as Nebula, New Worlds and Fantasy Adventures, as well as 17 novels and anthologies.
Isaac Asimov (1920-1992) was one of the most prolific published writers of all time, having written or edited more than 500 books, falling into 9 of the 10 major categories of the Dewey Decimal System. Best known for his science fiction and popular science writings, Asimov's most famous work is the Foundation series of short stories and novels; his other major series being the Galactic Empire series and the Robot series, both of which he later tied into the same fictional universe as the Foundation series.
J.R.R. Tolkien (1892-1973) is best known as the author of The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and The Silmarillion. After his death, Tolkien's son edited and published many of Tolkien's unpublished writings including The Silmarillion. These, together with The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings form a connected but not entirely consistent body of tales, poems, fictional histories, invented languages, and literary essays about an imagined world.
Fighting Fantasy is a series of single-player roleplay gamebooks created by Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone. Puffin Books published the series between 1982 and 1995, when they allowed the books to go out of print. Wizard Books revived the series in 2002 when they began to reissue selected books from the original series along with a handful of new titles.
Venture Science Fiction was a series of science fictions novels published by Arrow Books between 1985 and 1989. Its 25 volumes included books by authors such as Richard C. Meredith, Philip E. High, David Drake, Timothy Zahn, Roger MacBride Allen and Edmond Hamilton. None of the books in the series had been previously published in paperback format in the UK, and for many it was their first British appearance.
SFandFantasy.co.uk - Future Plans
The site is still under construction, with only the Richard C. Meredith, J.R.R. Tolkien and Venture SF sections being more or less complete. The biographies for Isaac Asimov and J.R.R. Tolkien have been copied from Wikipedia, with a little correction. This is only a temporary measure and they will be replaced with purpose written text when time allows.
Other authors and series will also be added to the site. These will hopefully include Robert A. Heinlein, Arthur C. Clarke, Alan Dean Foster and Jeff Noon.
If you are looking for secondhand or out-of-print books then ABEbooks may be able to help.
