Brian Stableford
(Brian Michael Stableford)
(1948 - 2024)aka Brian Craig
Brian Stableford was the recipient of the Science Fiction Research Association's Pilgrim Award for his contributions to sf scholarship, completing his set of the four major awards available in that field - the others being the SFRA's Pioneer Award (1996), the Distinguished Scholarship Award of the International Association for the Fantastic in the Arts (1987) and the J. Lloyd Eaton Award (1987). He also worked in the field of the popularization of science, in which he produced a series of "LabNotes" pamphlets on recent developments in medical biotechnology for the Education Division of the Wellcome Trust. He occasionally translated obscure 19th century fantasies from the French, including Paul Féval's 1869 account of Vampire City, issued by Sarob Press, 1999.
The Hooded Swan series was written while he was a postgraduate student at the University of York, initially in the Biology department and later in Sociology. He taught Sociology for 12 years at the University of Reading before becoming a full-time writer in 1988.

Brian Stableford recommends
The Five of Cups (2003)
Caitlín R Kiernan
"Caitlin Kiernan's The Five of Cups is a clamorous riot of a book: vivid, violent and viperish. It has that precious raw power which the best first novels always have, uncalmed by dulling practice and uninhibited by censorious wariness."
Perdido Street Station (2000)
(New Crobuzon, book 1)
China Miéville
"A phantasmagoric masterpiece whose grotesquerie is unmatched by any other work of contempory imaginative fiction. Its surreal imagery recalls the work of Hieronymus Bosch, and only a writer ov the very highest quality could bind such a hectic torrent of exotica into a plot as taut and compelling as this one."
Taste of Blood Wine (1992)
(Blood Wine[Freda Warrington], book 1)
Freda Warrington
"Should not be missed."
