Books with author Tanith Lee

Tanith Lee wrote hundreds of short stories in her lifetime, many of which appeared only in small press magazines and anthologies, and other rare publications. A great many of these pieces have remained uncollected, unseen by a wider readership. Strindberg’s Ghost Sonata and Other Uncollected Tales is the first of three anthologies to be published by Immanion Press that will showcase a wide selection of these sought-after tales. From the horror fantasy of ‘Persian Eyes’ set in ancient Rome, via the fantastical fairy-tale realm of ‘Among the Leaves So Green’, through the frozen landscape of ‘Cold Spell’ and into the doomed city of ‘The Woman’, this collection spans the genres of horror and fantasy, showcasing Tanith Lee’s ability to conjure wondrous, vivid and mysterious worlds. The book includes a story that has never been published before – ‘Iron City’, which was written in 1987 – as well as two tales set in Tanith’s Flat Earth mythos; ‘The Pain of Glass’ and ‘The Origin of Snow’, the latter of which only ever appeared briefly on the author’s now defunct web site.This collection presents a jewel casket of twenty stories, and even to the most avid fan of Tanith Lee will contain gems they’ve not read before.Contents:Strindberg’s Ghost Sonata, Among the Leaves so Green, Beauty is the Beast, Ceres Passing, Cold Spell, Elvenbrood, Felidis, Goldenhair, Herowhine, In the Balance, Iron City, Last Drink Bird Head, The Origin of Snow, The Pain of Glass, Persian Eyes, Question a Stone, The Three Brides of Hamid-Dar, A Tower of Arkrondurl, Two Lions, a Witch and the War-Robe, The Woman

The day before Claidi's wedding, she is kidnapped and taken to a mountaintop palace in the shadow of an unearthly star. Wolf Star Rise is the stuff of nightmares, with rooms that change and move for no apparent reason. The only human there is Prince Venn. Neither Claidi nor Venn knows why they are at the Rise. Can the two escape from the maze of taboo, repression, and mystery surrounding both of their long-lost families? The Claidi Journals are "a diverting escapade for fans of Karen Cushman's Catherine, Called Birdy and Gail Carson Levine's Ella Enchanted."(Kirkus Reviews)

Following Faces Under Water, Tanith Lee’s alchemical thriller series continues with a Joan of Arc–inspired novel set in an alternate medieval Venice. In Saint Fire, the second volume in the Secret Books of Venus series, Volpa is a strangely beautiful servant girl who glows with an inhuman inner flame. When her master, an abusive wood seller, is mysteriously incinerated, Volpa discovers her power of fire. Her gift is noticed by the Church leaders, who see her as a mighty weapon in their holy wars. This gripping fantasy of a mysteriously gifted Joan of Arc is stunning from beginning to end. “Lee’s writing is as entrancing as ever, full of evocative imagery and memorable characters. The questions she raises about faith and hypocrisy, fear and justice, are deftly rendered and not easily answered.” —Publishers Weekly “The author of Faces Under Water continues her saga of a city at the mercy of powers beyond its control. Lee’s sensual and evocative storytelling imparts a dreamlike quality to this tale of transcendent faith and human passion.” —Library Journal “Evocative, and set forth in Lee’s eerily crystalline prose.” —Kirkus Reviews

Nobody knew where it had come from, or what it wanted. Not even Jaive, the sorceress, could fathom the mystery of the fabled beast. But Tanaquil, Jaive's completely unmagical daughter, understood it at once. She knew why the unicorn was there: It had come for her. It needed her. Tanaquil was amazed because she was the girl with no talent for magic. She could only fiddle with broken bits of machinery and make them work again. What could she do for a unicorn?
