I'm into Scandinavian crime fiction, and I've been able to find well over a dozen authors (so far) whose books I've ordered through my local library and I've enjoyed every one of them.

I can see that looking for something in a less distinct genre could be more difficult. All I know is that I'm happy in the groove (rut? ) I'm in, and Fantastic Fiction hasn't steered me wrong yet.
