I enjoy The Sandman, a comic book published by DC, and written by Neil Gaiman. It's very well written and
the story is dense with resonances to myth and legend. Annotations
for every issue are available. While The Sandman has finished it's run, it is
available in trade paperback editions.
I have a whole site about Science Fiction author
Gene Wolfe. Check it out, especially my blog
news page. I also recommend Cordwainer Smith and Charles Williams
for some of the more mind-bending speculative fiction available.
we reject and condemn the following manner of speaking...that no one has ever been saved without good works; or that it is impossible to be saved without good works.
