Our Picks: Best Fantasy Writers of the Last 50 Years
We know this article’s going to meet a lot of argument across the web but we have to get it out there: our list of the top 3 fantasy writers of the last 50 years. Whether or not you’ve been to http://www.wildbluedeals.com/satellite-intern to get online and order their books or you’ve simply heard of them through the grapevine, do yourself a favor and check these classics out.
J.R. Tolkein: Who can argue with the father of The Lord of the Rings? Tolkein was the original god of fantasy and he had a vision all his own. His books and the films adapted from them have stood the test of time and though he’s deceased, he’s still missed.
Anne Rice: What’s better than vampire fantasy fiction with a side of religious imagery? Anne Rice knows how to play the fantasy horror genre and she’s still doing it well after all this time.
J.K. Rowling: Okay, here us out. Harry Potter isn’t just a national obsession, it’s a legend and if the 6 films adapted from the books have anything to tell us it’s that Rowling knows what she’s doing with a pen.
