Publisher's Synopsis
J.K. Rowling, Peter Straub and Anne McCaffrey - these are among the many widely read authors in fantasy and horror genres covered in this addition to Scribner's 1985 two-volume set. Essays written by scholars - yet accessible to the general reader and student - treat both writers who have risen to prominence since the 1985 edition and those whose careers have continued since original coverage, such as Stephen King, Ursula K. LeGuin and Harlan Ellison. The index cumulates the index from the first two volumes.
