Reviews

Cora Buhlert has set up a website, Retro Science Fiction Reviews, which plans to host reviews (from many hands) of 1945 eligible fiction. It also has a spreadsheet and various other bits and bobs.

Further Reading

Here are links for the ISFDB search results for 1944 English language novel (103 results), novella (37), novelette (165), and short story (504).
Note that not all of these results will be eligible (perhaps due to a previous magazine serialisation, or because they are not fantasy or science fiction).
