Book Description
Despite the great diversity of settings in Tanith Lee's novels--from the pre-historic origins of Christianity to robot-dominated futurescapes--certain underlying thoughts and references appear consistently. While adhering formally to many of the writing conventions of the fantasy, science fiction and horror genres, Lee also engages the meaning of myths of the Greeks (particularly Dionysos), Egyptians, Persians and Indians. The dynamics of magic, alchemy, shamanism, Gnosticism and reincarnation also surface frequently. This critical work examines Lee's highly original applications of such themes and subtexts. Less prominent themes are also covered, as well as her insights into human nature, her humor, her numerous tributes to literature, her comments on writing, her games with space, time and language, and her preoccupation with detail and background. Also included is an interview with Tanith Lee, a bibliography of Lee's work, a general bibliography, and an index.

Book Description
All the magic and mystery of fabled India is woven into these marvelous tales of seven strange nights. For that vast land which many have conquered and none have subdued is the home of ten thousand gods and a hundred thousand demons -- and the teeming races that dwell on its shrouded plains and in its marbled cities have kept their mystic secrets. Only the vivid imagination of Tanith Lee, who has been rightly called "Princess Royal of Heroic Fantasy," could penetrate the veiled nights of India's lore. In "Tamastara," she delights the mind and seasons -- with scented curry -- the imagination of the West. Here are hidden gods and demonic possession; here are were-beasts and subterranean terrors; here are beings transformed and souls reborn; here is terror; and here is wonder. World Horror Grand Master Tanith Lee, winner of the World Fantasy Award and British Fantasy Award, is at her best in this book.

The beautiful but elusive Eurydiche holds the key to these murders and leads him further into a labyrinth of black magic and ancient alchemy.

In Tanith Lee’s brilliantly imagined world of violence and terror, Furian must find a way to survive and stem the obsession driving him toward his hidden destiny.
