Fantasy is one of the best-selling genres today, long fueled by the popularity of J.R.R. Tolkien and writers inspired by him. In the wake of Peter Jackson's film versions of The Lord of the Rings, many other classic works of fantasy are being filmed too-those of J.K. Rowling, Phillip Pullman, C.S. Lewis, and Ursula K. Le Guin, to name a few-and the appetite for good classic fantasy has only increased. Contemporary writers such as Jonathan Carroll and Thomas Ligotti are represented, and for Tolkien fans, Andy Duncan's wicked "Senator Bilbo" and Verlyn Flieger's "Green Hill Country" are especially satisfying.
