|  Re: Nominate Your 19th-Century F & SF Favorites I would have to say HG Wells' War of the Worlds is one of the finest sf reads of that era, just superb! I would also include the delightfully silly From the Earth to the Moon by Jules Verne. The blatant racism grates at first till you realise that its just Verne poking fun at colonialism! For fantasy I would recommend Carmilla by Sheridan Le Fanu, which predates Dracula! Very chilling! |

| Re: Nominate Your 19th-Century F & SF Favorites Rudyard Kipling: The Phantom Rickshaw & Other Eerie Tales (incl The ManWho Would Be King) 1888 The Jungle Book (1894) With The Night Mail (1905) Definitely SF. |
