Reviews. I’ll do some.

I read a lot of fiction but two of my favorites are Portal Fantasy and Adventure Sci-Fi:

WHAT IS PORTAL FANTASY?

I’m so glad you asked. In portal fantasy, a person is transported from one world to another by some sort of magic, usually (but not always!) through a specific place or object such as a wardrobe, rabbit hole, or mirror. Most often, a child or children travel from our world to another, magical world…but sometimes the travel is between dimensions, sometimes the traveler(s) are adults, and sometimes time travel looks a lot like portal fantasy. I have used a fairly broad definition of portal fantasy here, and divided portal fantasy books roughly by age range as well as including a few classic titles to help you get an idea of what we’re talking about when we say must-read portal fantasy.

Alice in Wonderland and Gaiman’s Neverwhere are good examples of Portal Fantasy.

Adventure Sci-Fi covers many things but for this blog I mean Sci-Fi pulp like Buck Rogers, Flash Gordon and Lost in Space.

Bonus Genre for Review:

Swashbuckling Adventure. Classics of this genre includes stories like The Princess Bride, Scarlet Pimpernel, Three Musketeers and the Zorro adventures. I’m always looking for swashbuckling adventure stories whether historical, fantastical or set in space.

Please share your favorite in these genres in the comments. Stay tuned.
