Thomas M. Disch Series

Thomas M. Disch was a poet and cynic who brought a camp sensibility and a sardonicism that much sf had lacked to the New Wave of science fiction. His sf novels are stunningly original and among the genre's more accomplished bitter-sweet works. In later years, Disch turned to ironically moralized horror novels that satirize the nightmare of American suburbia through terrible events. His often best-known work is a reworking of a classic fairy tale that became a successful children's animated musical.
