Robert Holdstock's early works got me into SF and I kept reading him when he turned more and more into a fantasy writer. So he intrduced me to both genres. But what got me into reading Robert Holdstock were the movies "Solaris" and "Stalker" by the russian director Andrei Tarkovsky, from wich he "may have "borrowed" the themes of materializing fantasies and the forbidden zone (as in his novels "Mythagowood" and "Where timewinds blow"), which in their turn were based upon the novels by Stanislaw Lem and the Strugatsky brothers. Therefore I wrote in his condoleance register (he sadly past away recently): "Robert Holdstock was for SF what Tarkovsky was for cinema."
