Introduction

This page contains administrative information about In Other Worlds, a WWW site providing reviews and other information on Fantasy, Science Fiction and Mystery novels.

Review Requests

Please email all review requests to In Other Worlds. We accept speculative or mystery fiction, with strong preference for novels (instead of short story collections or periodicals). We require the title, author, genre, publisher and year of publication. In addition, if the book is not in print, or not available from major book sellers in USA or Great Britain, we need a copy of the text or the means to acquire it.

In the latter case, we also need a description of how the visitors may acquire the book (ordering information, URL, etc.)

Ratings

All ratings are on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the best. The overall rating is not the mean of the other categories, rather it is a subjective evaluation by the reviewer of the reading quality of the book (whatever that is). See also Neil's and David's credos the reviewers' preferences and expectations.
