Hi there, my name is Dr Karl Shuker – I'm a zoologist and author. As my varied blogs will readily testify, I'm also a passionate devotee of marvels, mysteries, and a myriad of miscellanea (not to mention an advocate of alliteration!) – including cryptozoology and animal mythology, writing poetry, movies of many kinds, and all manner of other eclectic esoterica.

In addition, as an incorrigible
bibliophile I've always been an avid reader of both non-fiction and fiction,
the latter genre being the subject of this latest blog of mine. Yet whereas in
my film blog Shuker In MovieLand I actively review movies (as well as the occasional TV
show), I shall be using Shuker's Literary Likings (or SLL for short) more as a
cyber-showcase for novels and compilations that I have enjoyed and can heartily recommend to other fiction fanciers. I shall be illustrating each such book
with the specific edition(s) of it that I have owned/read, presenting its official blurb when
available, and sometimes adding comments of my own where relevant, as well as any
interesting, pertinent trivia that I may chance upon.

So, without further ado, I
enthusiastically invite you to browse my virtual library of novels and
novellas, short stories and lengthy anthologies, a library that never closes or penalises you for keeping a book too long. And who can say, perhaps you may find
among its diverse multitude of enticing volumes that one special book which –
knowingly or even unknowingly – you have been searching for your entire life.
Stranger things have certainly happened, that's for sure!
