内容説明

This is a guide to contemporary popular fiction divided up into 19 writing genres, such as historical novels, macabre stories and science fiction. Each author entry within these novel types gives a brief life history, outlines the writer's style and lists all the relevant published titles. In addition a "Now read..." list indicates authors who write in a similar vein. All this is backed up by an author index and a list of characters that reappear in related stories and series. The winners of the relevant book prizes over the last 25 years are also included. This book should prove useful to readers, booksellers and library staff, or for anyone who wants to expand their fiction reading interests or advise others on the next good read.
