I am 16 and looking for exciting fantasy books, what are some good titles and authors?
filed in Arts & Humanities on Feb.09, 2010
I’ve read Magic or Madness Series, Harry Potter Series, Series of Unfortunate Events, and my personal favorite – the twilight saga
I’m looking for a few books that will be able to hold my attention and get my imagination flowing. I don’t like preppy books and love books about magic, romance, vampires, and the impossible.

read Harry Turtledove he does some great fantasy and alternate reality try Beyond the Gap or Videssos Cycle (which is a series of books) the first one is The Misplaced Legion or any of his war time books are also great also try Philip K Dick if you’ve seen the movies Minority Report, Blade Runner, Scanner Darkly or Total Recall they are all based on his novels and the novels are alot better and Man in the High Castle is another one by Philip that is great

If you dare… BAG OF BONES by Stephen King. It’s not his usual guts and stuff, infact I don’t even like most of his books! Can’t put it down!

I really liked Abarat by Clive Barker
There are 2 books in the trilogy so far… its a little bit different, but in a good way, I couldn’t put it down. It has beautiful illustrations too!

Terry Brooks. The Shannara series is great and his Magic Kingdom series is pretty funny. I haven’t read a lot of his other stuff, but he has a lot of books out there.

Hi, you might want to try my own recently published book, entitled "The Tales of Tanglewood: The Lon Dubh Whistle".
You can download the first three chapters for free, at http://www.talesoftanglewood.com
Within the pages of the book, readers will discover Colin, a child who is fully aware of the hidden world of myth and wonder hiding within the woods just beyond his home, long kept secret by old magic. Only the fey magic which runs through his veins has enabled Colin to find what others cannot; the Tanglewood, the ‘wood within the woods.
Full of odd characters and creatures of the fey, the Tanglewood is a world of magnificent folklore come to life. As Colin begins to explore the Tanglewood, he will find friendship with the ferrish Ailfrid, the elfin girl Deidre, and Doc Muffingrow, a wise druid.
Colin will also find that there is much magic in himself, as well as dangerous enemies who will not let him find solace in the wood so easily. Ailil, King of the Sprites and ruler of The Below, has laid claim to his spirit, and Colin will need the help of his friends and quite a bit of magic to save himself.
The Tanglewood is a place like no other, and Colin is a boy like no other. Throughout his adventures, he will uncover the secret of the fey blood within him, and help dispel the poisonous corruption and hidden dangers that threaten the inhabitants of the wood and the Tanglewood itself.
