Tanith Lee was one of the most influential and admired writers of the 20th Century. Since her first novel in 1971, right up to her death in 2015, her works resonated with generations of readers. She left behind an incredible legacy: a body of work which embraces every facet of the fantastic. From vampires to ghosts, fairies to robots, science fiction to fantasy and horror and back again: no-one could write like Tanith Lee! Telos Publishing is proud to present this special collection of 26 key works from Tanith's vast short story archive. Personally selected by her husband, the artist John Kaiine, these stories will touch your heart. They will caress your soul before ripping it from your body … they will change the way you look at the world. 'A beautiful writer … spot-on, with moments of wry humour amid her smooth, elegant prose; she gives the impression of days-of-yore and a faraway world, and tackles her creation's weird eroticisms, without ever being tempted into going over the top.' The Guardian 'Quite astonishing: unrelentingly skilful, unputdownable … Accept no substitutes.' John Clute 'One of the most intelligent and powerful writers in fantasy.' Publishers Weekly
