Sitting alongside the likes of Jules Verne, Edith Nesbit, H.G. Wells, George MacDonald and more, a selection of modern authors offer up works dealing with exploration and survival in fascinatingly alien settings. In last week’s Q&A, authors from the book spoke a little [about their stories](https://blog.flametreepublishing.com/fantasy-gothic/strange-lands-author-qa-story-inspirations). Get your gift ideas and reading lists ready, as they return here with story recommendations in the genre, plus tips on getting writing ideas down! ![shutterstock_1232455345](https://blog.flametreepublishing.com/hs-fs/hubfs/shutterstock_1232455345.jpg?width=1000&name=shutterstock_1232455345.jpg) *What are your favourite stories from this genre?* ### [Victoria Dalpe](https://twitter.com/ParasiteLife) I am always so impressed by solid world-building and being taken to a strange world far outside the familiar. **Ilona Andrews**’s future Atlanta in the Kate Daniels book series, the alternate dream world of **Catherynne Valente**'s *Palimpsest*. **Laini Taylor**'s *Daughter of Smoke and Bone *and *Strange the Dreamer*. The strange subterranean ancient worlds of **Lovecraft**'s *At the Mountains of Madness*, or the foreign cityscapes of **China Miéville**’s *Perdido Street Station* to name a few. **Kelly Link**'s ‘Stone Animals’ and ‘The Hortlak’ are great examples of the ordinary and the strange intermingling. As far as movies, I love when the ordinary becomes strange, like in a movie like ***After Hours***.   ### [Ramsey Campbell](http://www.ramseycampbell.com/) A childhood favourite and now an elderly one – **Conan Doyle**’s *The Lost World*. Others: **Clark Ashton Smith**’s fabulous lands, especially Zothique. **Mervyn Peake**'s *Gormenghast* trilogy. **Ray Bradbury**’s Mars tales. **Mike Harrison**’s Viriconium. **Philip Pullman**’s other worlds and **Frances Hardinge**’s. **Tolkien**'s Middle-earth. **David Lindsay**’s Arcturus… ### [M. Elizabeth Ticknor](https://ticknortales.com/) Many of **Neil Gaiman**'s works involve strange lands and interesting journeys (*Neverwhere*, *Stardust*, *Coraline* – I could go on and on). **C.S. Lewis**'s *The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe* is a classic. **George MacDonald** wrote loads of stories that fit into this theme – his works were among my favourites as a child, and *At the Back of the North Wind* still makes me cry.   ### [S.R. Masters](http://www.sr-masters.com/) I adore stories set in space, whether it be comedic takes like ***Red Dwarf***, or more serious stuff, like ***Ad Astra*** or ***Arrival*.** While I'd be hard pressed to pick favourites (maybe some of the ***Alien*** films?) I love **Ted Chiang**'s short fiction – his recent *Exhalation* collection was so good. And recently I enjoyed both *Hyperion* by **Dan Simmons** and the 2013 film ***Europa Report***. I'd also argue **Richard Matheson**'s *The Shrinking Man* falls into this genre at times, and that is essential reading.   ### [Ed Burkley](http://edwardburkley.com/) ‘The Country of the Blind’ by **H.G. Wells** is superb. As a social psychologist, our research shows (sometimes painfully so) how much our definition of normal is influenced by our biased and limited perceptions. I may believe my way to be the right way only until I am around others who do things differently. For I am only shy because so many around me are not. Wells portrayed this sentiment beautifully.   ### [Alex Penland](https://alexpenland.com/) ![shutterstock_1368549095](https://blog.flametreepublishing.com/hs-fs/hubfs/shutterstock_1368549095.jpg?width=318&name=shutterstock_1368549095.jpg) I'm going to go specifically with ‘mysterious fairy tales’, since otherwise it's too long a list. ***Pan's Labyrinth*** will always be a favourite of mine – the integration between the historical story and the fairy tale aspects really speaks to me, not even to mention the symbolism and cinematography. When it comes to writing, **Neil Gaiman**'s *Ocean at the End of the Lane* is a masterpiece of the English language – it has magic I could just sink myself into. But to be completely honest, most of my reading material is ancient. The worlds built up by works like ***Beowulf*** and the ***Epic of* *Gilgamesh* **have always sparked my imagination most fiercely: deep, old forests and creatures half-forgotten with time.   ### [Philip Ellis](https://twitter.com/philip_ellis) **Tamora Pierce**’s Tortall books were my first experience of being completely immersed in another world, and I defy any young reader not to be hooked on her heroines’ struggles with magic, monsters, and palace intrigue. I also love the writing of contemporary authors like **Neil Gaiman**,** Ken Liu**, **Joe Hill**, **Charlie Jane Anders**, and **Victor LaValle**, all of whom blend fantasy, science fiction and horror in their work. And I’m a lifelong fan of **Star Trek**, which uses the tropes and trappings of science fiction to tell relevant, moving, deeply human stories.   ### [Rhoads Brazos](https://www.amazon.com/Rhoads-Brazos/e/B00TBK80WU%3Fref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_share) I've read a few works which found their way into my story in this collection, at least in spirit. *The Terror* by **Dan Simmons** and the first act of *Cloud Atlas*, by **David Mitchell**, both had amazingly realised maritime settings. I loved the voice of **Patrick Süskind**'s *Perfume: The Story of a Murderer*, even in translation it is near perfect, and was trying for a similar nonchalance. As for the horrific aspects, **Greg Bear**'s *Blood Music* troubles me even to this day. **Paulo Bacigalupi'**s *The People of Sand and Slag* made me itch terribly, and I highly recommend **Jeremy Robert Johnson**'s short story collection, *Entropy in Bloom: Stories*, which is the gold standard in body horror.   *Can you tell us a little about your writing process?* ### [Marissa Harwood](https://twitter.com/Marissa_Harwood) Most of my stories start with **a sentence or an image**. I think about the sentence or image for a long time, adding something here and there until I get to know the characters and the setting and the conflicts. Then I start writing. I'm not an outliner, at least not in the traditional sense, but I do usually have the **skeleton of the story** in my head before I sit down to write.   ### [Gordon Linzner](https://www.amazon.com/Gordon-Linzner/e/B003ZSNOZM?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_4&qid=1594825634&sr=1-4) I prefer putting in a few hours during the day, in my **quiet workspace**. If there's a tight deadline I'll also work late. Between projects I may get a little lax. Where research is required it's easy to fall down that **black hole**, but also one of the more enjoyable aspects of writing, and often as not leads to more interesting pathways. I prefer to get the basic storyline down, go over it to **expand plot twists** and characters and details, then tighten it up again. Under ideal circumstances, I'll put what appears to be a finished story aside for a week or so, at which point typos and other glitches become more apparent. Sometimes the story and/or characters have **minds of their own**, and you just have to go along; they're usually right. Not always, though.   ### [P.L. McMillan](https://plmcmillan.com/) My writing process is rather **flexible.** I try and write a little everyday, never editing until I am finished the story – though I will stop and go back to add more scenes if I think of them. I actually like writing with the **TV on in the background**. I find if I get frustrated by a scene, I can zone out a bit while staring at the TV, then the answer or next step will come to me and I can keep writing. I also always keep a **journal** with me to jot down notes and ideas, to plan out a plot, or list out things I need to remember for my story like points of history. And since I am a **night owl**, all this usually happens best in the evening, late into the night.   ### [R. Leigh Hennig](https://www.semioticstandard.com/) Typically I write in the **evenings** when the kids are in bed and the house is quiet. **Ulysses** works well for longer pieces, where I need additional structure and features. I’ve used Scrivener, but find it to be a little too bloated. And then when I just want to write for the joy of it, when I don’t care about saving what comes out, I pull out my **Smith-Corona Super Sterling**. It’s a wonderfully relaxing and tactile experience.   ### [Christian Macklam](https://christianmacklam.com/) My writing process usually begins with an **image or set-up**. I don't outline, preferring to construct a narrative as I go and letting the characters and plot discover themselves in a way. The first draft is usually a bit of a dog's breakfast, but the writing really begins in the second draft and onwards. Then it's a matter of **polish, writing and rewriting** until someone close to me usually tears the story away and tells me it's finished. I work on Microsoft Word primarily and try to write at least 1000 words a day on average in my makeshift office in our bedroom. Add a little **music for inspiration** and that about does it. Oh, and then the hair pulling and sessions of self-doubt and despair. Those are inevitable and you just have to work through them.** I recommend coffee, tea or a nice walk**. ![shutterstock_1026869281](https://blog.flametreepublishing.com/hs-fs/hubfs/shutterstock_1026869281.jpg?width=1000&name=shutterstock_1026869281.jpg) ***For fans of other worlds this anthology is not to be missed!
