In a previous flocked post, I said "At the risk of destroying my jaded reviewer cred, [name withheld] is nowhere near the bottom of the barrel where modern fantasy and SF are concerned."

This raises the question of who is near the bottom of the barrel where modern fantasy and SF are concerned. Obviously, I am far too poorly read to answer that but those of you who are not in my particular situation may feel free to supply your own answers.
