Books by Michel Faber

Honorable mentions : Joe Haldeman, The Forever War ; Greg Bear, Eon ; Octavia Butler Xenogenesis trilogy ; Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein .  My dark horse pick might be Michel Faber’s The Book of Strange New Things , or Audrey Niffennegger’s The Time Traveller’s Wife , if that one counts as belonging to the genre.  High marks to Stephen King’s Dark Tower series, and The Stand , again if they count.  Any of these mentions could make the top ten without shame.
