Guest Reviewers
We welcome reviews from anyone who cares to write one, provided that they are are not reviewing their own work and that the review follows our guidelines.
Over the years there have been a number of guest reviewers who have taken time out of their busy lives to write a review or three on SFBook.
If you fancy writing a review yourself then why not get in touch - we can often provide review copies.
Cleggy (Arron Clegg)
Arron Clegg or Cleggy as he his affectionately known, is a new guest reviewer, who has started making a regular contribution to the site. He specialises in the horror genre, which is quite apt as he is a bit scary to look at, the word goblin springs to mind.
He started off like the other reviewers on here with the fantasy genre, reading LOTR and the Fighting Fantasy series before discovering the dark delights of horror in the form of King, Hutson and Herbert.
He was hooked and never looked back, mind you, would you? Not knowing what walked in the shadows behind you?
Vanessa (Vanessa Levin-Pompetzki)
Vanessa is a new guest reviewer who's beginning to make regular contributions here. She began her fantasy reading with the Dragon Slayer's Academy series and moved on to Harry Potter, followed by Ender's Game and many other works.
Now, she reads sub genres of science fiction & fantasy (minus horror because she has an over-active imagination). She also writes in her spare time.
DL Denham
D. L. Denham's love for reading began with his first Stephen King novel, The Shining, which his grandma bought for him at Wal-Mart at the age of eleven. Although he has never left his love for a good fright, most of his reading has shifted to Science Fiction, particularly Cyberpunk, Post-Apocalyptic and Alien Invasion. He enjoys reading all sorts of fiction as well as history.
