We explore all of the world's inspiration for the future--authors from all cultures who create science fiction and fantasy novels. Russian science fiction and fantasy powerhouse contributions to the canon may be unheralded because of limited availability of English translations. REACH looks at a shortlist of some of the best Russian authors of genre fiction out there. From Gogol's phantasmagoric Viy which has a 3D HD movie adaptation as recently as 2014, to Ekaterina Sedia's A Secret History of Moscow and The Alchemy of Stone, both landmark books by a Russian female author.
