Worlds Without End Roll-Your-Own Reading Challenge

2014 Detective SFF Challenge

2014  Detective SFF Challenge

Cross-genre fiction constitutes a perhaps surprising amount of SF/F/H literature. Some of the most common examples are fantasy romances, SF westerns, and--the subject of this particular challenge--detective and/or mystery SF/F/H.

Popular detective SFF novels include:

For this challenge, read 12 detective SF/F/H novels and write 6 reviews. Since so many of these books are eligible for other challenges (e.g. Read the Sequel) that WWEnd readers might already be participating in, I've chosen to backdate the start of this challenge to January 2014. The challenge won't end until December 2015, though, so even if you don't get a headstart as a result of the backdating, you should still have plenty of time to fit your books in.

Challenge Details
Genre: Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror
