Anderson And Moore

Anderson's "Star of the Sea" contains:

mythological writing;

historical fiction;

science fiction with historical and contemporary settings

- and ends with what reads like a heartfelt prayer to "Mary, mother of God..." (IV, p. 639)

This list encapsulates most of the genres to be found in Anderson's works. The mythological writing is fantasy. His detective novels and passages in some other works have contemporary settings. The prayer is matched by one at the end of his sf novel, A Knight Of Ghosts And Shadows.

Another multi-talented, multi-genre author, Alan Moore, has written:

superhero deconstruction;

fantasy;

fictional political propaganda;

fictional advertisements;

pornography (I am less keen on this but he has done it).

Both lists are creatively diverse and are almost completely different from each other. As I always say, read both.
