Any good fantasy stuff? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Some interesting books:

Jan Siegel-
"Prospero's Children" and "The Dragon Charmer" both brilliant. About a girl with "the gift" who must find a mythical key that opens doorways to other times/worlds. Very imaginative- my fave part is the bit in Atlantis.

Anne Rice-
The whole vampire chronicles series is amazing. They're kinda gory in places though, so not for everyone. I've not started on the books about the Mayfair witches yet, but have heard they're great.

Philip Pullman has already been mentioned, but have you read "The Tiger in the Well" and "The Tin Princess" etc?

Apparently, Wilbur Smith is brilliant, but I haven't found time to actually read his stuff. "Warlock" was recommended to me, it's set in Egypt and is very imaginative and detailed, and again gory in places.
