Graham Joyce

British writer Joyce has been crafting some of the strangest and worthwhile novels since the early-1990s. Why haven't you heard of him? Perhaps because the publishing industry in this country doesn't know what the fuck Joyce actually writes. Is it fantasy? Yeah, sometimes, but not the kind that you think. Does he write horror? Well, not really, though there are horrific or supernatural elements at times. Anyway, you get the picture. Exponents of the fantastic or anyone who simply loves a good, well-written novel that is actually trying to do something original should not hesitate to read Joyce.

Lynda Rucker reviews his latest novel, The Limits of Enchantment, over at the Strange Horizons web site. Check it out at:

Hey, thanks for the kind words. Yeah, I've been thinking about the RSS thing. I'll try to figure it out within the next day or so. Cheers!
