Books about Michael Moorcock
The Entropy Exhibition: Michael Moorcock and the British New Wave in Science Fiction (1983) by Colin Greenland
Michael Moorcock recommends
 The Winds of Gath (1967) (Dumarest, book 1) E C Tubb "His reputation for fast-moving and colourful SF writing is unmatched by anyone in Britain." |  Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (1968) (Bladerunner, book 1) Philip K Dick "Dick is quietly producing serious fiction in a popular form and there is no greater praise." |  The Left Hand of Darkness (1969) (Hainish) Ursula K Le Guin "As profuse and original in invention as The Lord of the Rings...Miss LeGuin makes this book something more than the graceful and accomplished fantasy it most certainly is." | |
 The Beast That Shouted Love at the Heart of the World (1969) Harlan Ellison "Written with an almost maniacal energy...the many Ellison enthusiasts here will be glad to have these stories available at last...including a longer, revised version of the Nebula-winning A Boy and His Dog." |  The Moment of Eclipse (1970) Brian Aldiss "Perhaps his best short story collection for a long while." |  The Pastel City (1971) (Viriconium, book 1) M John Harrison "So much better than other novels in its field that I believe it will in time become a favourite classic among readers of science fantasy." | |
 Our Lady of Darkness (1977) Fritz Leiber "The best living American fantasy writer." |  Path of the Eclipse (1981) (Saint-Germain, book 4) Chelsea Quinn Yarbro "A demon-lover anyone would welcome with open veins!" |  Child of Fortune (1985) (Second Starfaring Age, book 2) Norman Spinrad "An outstanding book on every level." | |
 Take Back Plenty (1990) (Tabitha Jute, book 1) Colin Greenland "A great, big, magnificent, galaxy-shaking plot that will make you forget to eat and sleep!" |  The Fourth Circle (1993) Zoran živković "Zoran Zivkovic is a subtle, intelligent, wonderfully inventive writer who brings a fresh point of view, an idiosyncratic angle of attack, to everything he produces. He is one of the finest writers currently at work in the 'New Europe.' Read him and celebrate." |  Aisling (1993) (Indigo, book 8) Louise Cooper "Louise Cooper is a magical storyteller." | |
 The Winter Inside (2000) Christopher Kenworthy "Fascinating and original." |  Space Wasters (2001) David S Garnett "Don't miss this class act." |  Night Blooming (2002) (Saint-Germain, book 15) Chelsea Quinn Yarbro "A remarkable combination of historical accuracy, exciting plot, and believable characters dominated by Ragoczy himself-a demon-lover anyone would welcome with open veins!" | |
 The Iron Grail (2002) (Merlin Codex, book 2) Robert Holdstock "An inspired and original author." |  The Talisman (2003) (Sea Horses, book 2) Louise Cooper "Never has the battle of Order and Chaos been better recorded than in Louise Cooper's fantasies ... One of our finest writers of epic fantasy." |  The Best Science Fiction of E.C. Tubb (2003) E C Tubb "His reputation for fast moving and colourful SF writing is unamtched by anyone in Britain." | |
 Gifts (2004) (Chronicles of the Western Shore, book 1) Ursula K Le Guin "At all times a storyteller par excellence." |  Iron Council (2004) (New Crobuzon, book 3) China Miéville "A writer with a rare descriptive gift, an unusually observant eye for physical detail, for the sensuality and beauty of the ordinarily human as well as the thoroughly alien...utterly absorbing." |  The Dragon's Nine Sons (2008) (Celestial Empire, book 1) Chris Roberson "A talented storyteller, he has a unique ear, a clever eye, an eloquence all too rare in modern fiction." | |
 The Enigmatic Pilot (2011) Kris Saknussemm "Enigmatic Pilot could have been written by a stripped down Pynchon. It's not just tasty -- it's delicious." |
