The SFX Book Club

Read the classics of SF and fantasy literature along with us! Now discussing Nevil Shute's On The Beach

Become part of the SFX Book Club! It's open to all, and it doesn't cost anything. Here's how it works: every month we pick a classic SF, horror or fantasy book. You lot read it and post your comments , then we run a feature in which a top-class writer discusses what the book means to them, with a selection of your remarks running down the side.

Check out the latest mag to see what we're talking about next , and be sure to join us on Facebook or Twitter to talk about it, or simply email us your thoughts on the book of the month.
