Back in 1988 Alan Moore wrote the short story "The Hypothetical Lizard," published as part of a shared-world fantasy anthology called "Liavek: Wizard's Row." The story was very well received, winning the 1988 World Fantasy Award for Best Novella.
While the fantasy genre is experiencing its highest level of interest ever due to the success of the "Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter" films, as you can tell from the description above "The Hypothetical Lizard" isn't your typical fantasy story.
Over the past couple of years Johnston's tackled numerous genres, whether it be horror, magic, fantasy, romantic comedy or westerns, and it appears he's comfortable with all of them.

 Novel Reflections: Ursula K. Le Guin Bibliography
It's done so casually that it's like discovering the character has long hair or a flat nose, and the impression I've been left with isn't so much that she's doing something unusual, which in many ways she is, but that other authors have really forgotten something fairly basic.
People do come in different colours, and in a world where everyone is hermaphoditic, or someone can dream a new reality, that really isn't much of a consideration.
It isn't surprising that Le Guin has won an enormous number of awards for her writing, including being the first to win both the Hugo and the Nebula for two different novels.

 Shriek: An Afterword by Jeff VanderMeer - Official sffworld.com review
City of Saints and Madman exemplifies the allure of fantasy, leading the reader on a journey of discovery that amazes as it reveals.
A story returning to Ambergris is fraught with delight and peril, delight in once again traveling with VanderMeer along its shadowy paths, and peril in staying too long, seeing too much, such that the romance of the exotic and the mysterious fades with familiarity.
Janice (who appears in the City of Saints and Madmen story "The Transformation of Martin Lake," winner of the 2000 World Fantasy Award for best novella) narrates the afterword because Duncan has vanished, but from the start she focuses on her own life more than that of her supposed subject.

 The SF Site Featured Review: Minions of the Moon
Kevin's world contains very little that is wholesome, and that's just fine with Fred, who exists in an even darker framework than Kevin.
It is certainly not what one could call high fantasy, being far more realistic in tone than most works of the imagination.
Kevin grows up gay in an Irish family in Boston, and all his interactions ring true, as do the descriptions of the city, the gay life-style and the world of fashion advertising, where Grierson works for a time in the 60s.
