: I have read pleanty of Tanith Lee...in fact I am trying to get my hands on works not readily available in the US..any help? I just wanted to make my comment that she is an exceptional writer whos grim, dark and unique stories are always written with a brilliant poetic flare. I also recommend the Tales From Flat Earth series, and i personnaly enjoyed Elephantasm greatly.
: Give more of her works a try! I think you find you will fall in love...
Best works of T.L. - who is possibly second only to Jack Vance (other competitors for the second place are Orson Scott Card, Glen Cook, C.J. Cherryh and Ian M. Banks) are (in descending order):
- DEATH'S MASTER (preceded by Night's Master; followed by Delusion's Master. Then followed by weaker Delirium's Mistress and Night's Sorceries).
- STORM LORD, ANACKIRE (followed by slightly weaker White Serpent)
- Sung in Shadow (what a book! Better than Cyrion.)
- The Birthgrave, followed by Vazkor, Son of Vazkor and Quest for the White Witch
- Days of Grass
- The Silver Metal Lover
- Cyrion
- Dark Dance (followed by Personal Darkness - this one I haven't read yet)
- Companions for the Road
- Dark Castle, White Horse.
Enjoy!
