Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Classic of Fantasy
Review: This is the book that really stuck me on Tanith Lee. The stories in this are fantastic especially "Red as Blood" The only other Tanith Lee Short Story collection that I have enjoyed better was The Gorgon. This is a great jumping off point for anyone that wants to get into her works.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: this is one of the most disturbing books I have ever read.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This was the first Tanith Lee book that I ever read!
Review: When I was about 13 I came across this book. Up until that time, I had been a fairytale junkie and enjoyed reading childhood fantasy classics - stuff by L.M. Boston, P.L. Travers and C.S. Lewis. But I was getting older and the old stories were no longer quite so satisfying. I needed something darker that matched the new feelings I was beginning to experience.

This collection was just what I needed. I had never read anything like it. I can remember being so shocked and appalled and enchanted. It was like reading the most frightening ghost story and the most erotic romance all in one.

Eighteen years later it is still a powerful and effecting book. I have read everything written by Tanith Lee that I can get my hands on. I don't want to go on and on about her, but her writings satisfy me in a way that nothing else quite does.

I look back fondly on this collection of stories that darkened my girlhood most deliciously.
