Check out these two by Tim Lebbon if your really into fantasy novels. The first book is Dusk and the second is Dawn. There is also a prequel to the two called The Fallen (which I just found out about). I don't normally read fantasy type books (my dad is a fantasy novel nut) but I happened to read this one out of boredom lol and I really enjoyed the two. Here is a summery for dusk I copied and pasted from some review.

The year is the Year of the Black 2208. There has been no magic on the world of Noreela for three centuries. It is a savage place, a post-Cataclysmic War environment, where life is nasty, very unpleasant and often short.

The book begins with violence - a graphic and gruesome massacre of men, women and children in a village by an seemingly unstoppable creature, a Red Monk. It is searching for Rafe Baburn, a young man who, though he doesn’t entirely know it, has a destiny, and whose future will affect Noreela. And the return of the Mages also means that magic is returning…

*Past this point is somewhat of a spoiler*

The book is a book in two parts. The first half, First Signs of Night, introduces a broad range of characters to the reader. Much of this part of the book deals with the premonitions that show things are changing and that the evil of magic is returning. Prophecies are fulfilled and characters from the past return. A lot of this part of the book deals with Rafe’s attempts to avoid the Red Monks, who are determined to stop the return of the Mages and the magic that they would like to wield. But this is a broader book than that, in that there are other characters introduced which expand the scope of the book. Alishia is a librarian in an enormous library in Noreela City, where (presumably as a result of cultural decay) people do not really read. The destruction of the library leads her to start on a great adventure. This leads her to meet Trey, who is found injured, escaping from the destruction of his previous life, permanently underground mining fledge (a hallucinogenic drug used for recreation and for out of body experiences). There is also Kosar, a criminal determined to do good who, like Rafe, has escaped the Red Monks and now wants to survive with his old friend and lover, A’Meer. A’Meer is a character with a long and complicated past. Hope is an old witch who, seeing the signs, has taken on the responsibility of looking after Rafe, our messiah-like innocent.

On the other side of the coin, the book also deals with the Mages and their allies – outcasts living in exile after their destruction of the world, which led to the loss of magic. Leading their return is Lenora, a psychopathic character given the responsibility of leading an army, the Krotes, clearing the way for the Mages to get revenge and return to a position of power.

The second part of the book, Sunfall, mainly deals with the return of the Mages. Having spent the first part of the book building the world and its characters, this part of the book deals with the way that the Mages return, leaving destruction and carnage in their wake.

I don't normally read fantasy type books but I happend to read this one out of boredom lol and I really loved the books.

OMFG finally i find someone that is in to lititure!!! I like the books in the series ''ERAGON'' by Christopher Paolini Its about a guy that finds a dragon egg in a forrest and it hatches, so now the evil king Galabotrix is trying to take his dragon away because 'suppossedly' he is the last dragon rider. The series ''The Rangers Apprentice'' by John Flanagan is about a kid named Will that is an orphan taken into service by 'Halt' a ranger that is traning will and there is lots of aventures in this series. Now here is a REALLY good series it is called ''Gaunt's Ghosts'' it is in the 41st millenium (right now it is the 2nd millenium so it is in the far far far future Also this book is a Warhammer 40K novel) This story is in the perspective of Abram Gaunt a Coronel Commisiner in the Imperial Guard. (just look this up i is a very good book but hard to explain)

I love Edgar Allen Poe. My favorites were always The Tell-Tale Heart, and The Fall of the House of Usher.

George Orwell's 1984. One of the best books ever written.

Also

The Oblong Box

King Pest

Awesome i did it and also have any of you read "The art of racing in the rain" I absolutely loved it.

If your'e a Lovecraft fan try some Robert Silverberg, Im a big lovecraftian fan myself.

But my all time favourite is Oscar Wilde, truly bizarre and brilliant at the same time!

That's my 02

Yeah I read Darrens vampire series before twilight ruined vampires, I just couldnt get into it. Not sure why <object class="emojione" data="https://resources.enjin.com/1489581540/themes/core/images/emojione/svg/2639.svg?0" type="image/svg+xml" standby=":(">:(</object>

I have read Charlaine Harris's Vampire series that was turned into that tv series 'True Blood'. I love those books. Its pretty much what america would be like if vampires came out and declared that they are real. Churches turn against them as they are beings of the dead, new form of racism is created. I do love it <object class="emojione" data="https://resources.enjin.com/1489581540/themes/core/images/emojione/svg/1f642.svg?0" type="image/svg+xml" standby=":)">:)</object>
