Have a favorite series by a favorite author in the Sci-fi/Horror genre? Tell us about it. We may want to read it too!
I'm always looking for new series to read.

I have a few but I'll start off with one.

JULIAN MAY
She wrote an epic series comprised of 10 books divided into 3 subsets that are all interconnected, starting in the 1970's. They are written like the Star Wars books, backward in time. Further, they are circular. What happened in the past is manifest in the future. But there is a central theme through it all.
They have to be read in a specific order. Most of these books are available in paperback or on Kindle. The hardback versions have long been out of print and command 3 digit prices by collectors, if you can find them. I got my hardbacks in the 1970's and 1980's when I belonged to the Science Fiction Book Club.

The premise of the whole series is hard to grasp unless you read the books. It involved time travel, intergalactic space aliens, Telepathy and other extranormal abilities, Faeries, and a lot of basis in science. Surprisingly, some things written about here in the 1970's have come to pass. The advent of computerized books that make page books obsolete is one.

The books follow one family and one set of people through time.

It starts with the Saga of Pliocene Exile, 4 books:
The Many Colored Land
The Golden Torc
The Nonborn King
The Adversary

then the Intervention trilogy
Surveillance
Metaconcert
Intervention

and finally the Galactic Milieu Trilogy
Jack the Bodiless
Diamond Mask
Magnificat

Has anyone else read this?

Skeleton Crew by King

For me Stephen Kings The Dark Tower.
An 8 book series which has many connections to many of his other books.
The story of the last gunslinger's search for the Dark Tower. [The Dark Tower is the axis in which all of existence (the multiverse) spins. It holds all universes together and keeps them from falling into caos, keeps the multiverse from tearing itself apart.]

Have read it 3 times and will do it again at some point

I read these years ago. Roland, right? I can't remember the whole storyline

How's a bout the Chronicles of Amber by Roger Zelazny?

Horror? Yeah I guess the old sci fi was pretty spooky. My favorite authors were Roger Zelazny (Lord of Light, Amber), Larry Niven (Ringworld), Harry Harrison (everything he wrote, Deathworld, Stainless Steel Rat, etc), Gordon Dickson(everything he wrote that I could get hands on), Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury(dry stories, but lots of horror), Orson Scott Card( even the ones now out of print), Heinlein(grok to the all of them), Arthur C Clarke, C.J. Cherryh (Faded Sun), Peter F Hamilton (Pandoras Star),Stephen R Donaldson, some of these, I am missing quite a few here, but the books written 1950's thru 1980's I read voraciously, George R R Martin, some of Ursula K LeGuin. I mourn the loss of many I can no longer find, NO, Stephen King began a new genre of writers that were too predictable in format for me to have patience with - they were all alike - every single story was alike each of his others, I blamed it on his computer and writing programs, but I lost patience with each and every one of them after I read 3 or 4.

The Fionavar Trilogy by Guy Gavriel Kay.
Its basically a cross between a rewrite of the Lord of the rings and The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Which isn't surprising because Kay helped edit Tolkien's work.

How about John Varley?
The Gaia series...Titan (1979), Wizard (1980) and Demon (1984)? I still have my original copies from then LOL

I like Clive Barker. He's considered a horror writer. He wrote familiar works like Hellraiser and Candyman.
But I really liked Imajica and Weaveworld.

Pinhead and the Cenobites are my second family

I'm a fan of Alan Dean Foster (currently reading Nor Crystal Tears) but for me, his best series is the Icerigger trilogy, its just so good!

Has anyone read the books by Charlaine Harris that were turned into the True Blood tv series by HBO?
I read most of them and have to say that HBO totally sexualized those books. There was not the over the top nonstop steamy sex that was on the show.
They did the same with Game of Thrones.

I couldn't watch Game of Thrones for that reason. I like high fantasy and medieval-themed stories. But I couldn't get past the nonstop sex scenes and gave up on it.

I read all the GOT books that were written before the series ended. None of them were sexualized the way the tv series was. My son's friends called it 'Game of Porn'.
We started watching True Blood and gave up on it. I tried to explain to my husband that the books were very unlike the series, but he was skeptical.

Another book series I like is Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake Vampire Hunter series, but it has the same problem.

The first 5-6 books were fine. Then suddenly, it started to be written from the personal life standpoint of the author I guess, who was on some sort of journey in sex and relationship exploration. I still read them, but I would just skip over all the 'bedroom' scenes, which in some cases meant skipping like 10 pages
