good book
Tags: Cousin, Eragon, Harry Potter
Narnia Series
(C.S.Lewis)
Inkheart Series
(Cornelia Funke)
that’s all i can think of right now.
hope that helps. 
Try “Time for Patriots” by T. W. Hamilton, published by Strategic Book Publishing. It’s a time travel/alternate history adventure, with Washington, Franklin, Mozart, and all sorts of other people in it. I’m a sucker for time travel stories, and this is one of the best.
The Bartimaeus Trilogy by John Stroud
‘The Amulet of Samarkand’
‘The Golem’s Eye’
‘Ptolemy’s Gate’
Well if you want something that’s ‘in’, I’m enjoying the Twilight series. I also have read and enjoyed – Tithe by Holly Black, Lord of The Rings trilogy, The Dark Tower Series by Stephan King (I LOVE Stephan King, haven’t read a book by him I didn’t like) or maybe anything Terry Pratchett although thats comic fantasy.
Hope that helps.
anything by Terry Brooks!
the ‘Shannara’ series (epic fantasy)
the ‘Word & Void’ series (contemporary dark fantasy)
the ‘Magic Kingdom (Landover)’ series (slightly whimsical)
(The Magic Kingdom is in the works for a feature film release in the future)
there’s even a suggested reading order on the website as there is an extensive amount of material – great stuff by a wonderful author!
The Wheel of Time series, maybe the first three books from the series? by Robert Jordan
Forgotten Realms-Various Authors, that’s also a series.
The Dark Sword Trilogy-by Weiss and Hickman(who also write a lot of forgotten realms)
This series consists of:
Forging of the Darksword
Doom of the Darksword
Triumph of the Darksword
That series was a thoroughly enjoyable one. Although it’s been some years since I read it.
Or..you could go to any bookstore and ask for a compilation of fantasy books. A book which has a ton of different stories in it written by different authors.
A really simple one is Year’s Best Fantasy and Horror. As it implies, it is compiled annually and is a recognition of the best stories of the year.
Besides that, there is Discworld by Terry Prachett and The Shannara books, which go on forever as a series. Discworld is very funny fantasy, Shannara is very serious fantasy.
Hope this all helps.
Hi!
The House on the Borderland , The Ghost Pirates or The Night Land written by William Hope Hodgson .
:0)……
“In 1877, two gentlemen, Messrs Tonnison and Berreggnog, head into Ireland to spend a week fishing in the village of Kraighten. While there, they discover in the ruins of a very curious house a diary of the man who had once owned it. Its torn pages seem to hint at an evil beyond anything that existed on this side of the curtains of impossibility. This is a classic novel that worked to slowly bridge the gap between the British fantastic and supernatural authors of the later 19th century and modern horror fiction. Classic American horror writer H. P. Lovecraft lists this and other works by Hodgson among his greatest influences.”…
“The Ghost Pirates . . . is a powerful account of a doomed and haunted ship on its last voyage, and of the terrible sea-devils (of quasi-human aspect, and perhaps the spirits of bygone buccaneers) that besiege it and finally drag it down to an unknown fate. With its command of maritime knowledge, and its clever selection of hints and incidents suggestive of latent horrors in nature, this book at times reaches enviable peaks of power.” — H.P. Lovecraft…
The Night Land
by William Hope Hodgson
[O]ne of the strangest visions ever published in science fiction or fantasy is presented. The Sun has gone out: the Earth is lit only by the glow of residual vulcanism. The last few millions of the human race are gathered together in a gigantic metal pyramid, the Last Redoubt, probably the first arcology in literature, under siege from unknown forces and Powers outside in the dark. These are held back by a Circle of energy, known as the “air clog,” powered from the Earth’s internal energy. For millennia, vast living shapes – the Watchers – have waited in the darkness near the pyramid: it is thought they are waiting for the inevitable time when the Circle’s power finally weakens and dies. Other living things have been seen in the darkness beyond, some of unknown origins, and others that may once have been human.¡ª Excerpted from The Night Land on Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
