След магията на лудостта идва обсебващата пропаст на делириума, в който заспиват сърца и се събуждат души. С промяната на съзнанието и възраждането на мечтите у героите полу-хора, но не и покровители на човешкия род, правилата на световния ред се изменят по волята на несъществуващи зарове. Четвър...

How would it be if Snow White were the real villain & the wicked queen just a sadly maligned innocent? What if awakening the Sleeping Beauty should be the mistake of a lifetime--of several lifetimes? What if the famous folk tales were retold with an eye to more horrific possibilities? Only Tanit...
Once upon a time there was a mirror. . . . So begins this dark, unusual retelling of the story of Snow White by the writer reviewers have called “the Angela Carter of the fantasy field”—a whole novel based on a beloved story, turning it into a dark and sensual drama full of myth and magic. Arpa...
There are far too many feels now that I've finished this. Gobbled it up like a chocolate croissant.I feel sad sad sad. Just like she said,"You see, when I stop, I break my last link with him. With my love. Yes, he’ll always be with me, but not him. I’ll be alone. I’ll be alone."I feel alone. ...T...
I am going to write this review for the entire series instead of writing a review for each one. This series will always be so close to my heart. I don't remember how or where I discovered it when I was younger (early teens probably) but I loved this series so much, I read the entire thing again n...
Acclaimed author Tanith Lee transports her readers to an ominous yet seductive alternate universe, as fully realized as Marion Zimmer Bradley’s Avalon, where fate organizes the forces of nature to bring to ruin those who dare to control it. Horrible screams pierce the night air as the Daystar, Qu...
I picked this up on a whim at the library the other day. I've only ever read The Black Unicorn by Tanith Lee before, so I really wasn't sure what to expect other than lushly drawn worlds and unusual characters. On both those points I was definitely not disappointed in the slightest! What did s...

Un consiglio per cercare di capire quello che si legge, saper valutare come è scritto, entrare un poco più in prof...
A different sort of vampire book, this one seems to be commentary on apathy and passivity. The protagonist, Rachaela, who I would say is clinically depressed, exists. Just exists. She moves through life in a fog, aiming for nothing and achieving little. One day, she discovers she's part of an anc...
Tanith Lee is my favorite author. Nothing sounds quite as right to me as her writing voice does: with its blend of elegance, intelligence, gentle irony, and Sheer Deliciousness. She seduces and educates and entertains, and sometimes, she does it all in one scene. She's at her best with Tales from...

Ugly needs to trade up! time to move into a new body, freshly made and certainly more pleasing to the eye.this is a futuristic morality tale in which Pygmalion is a beau...
Most of the village had heard, many had been spectators. Spectators who had actually seen nothing, only felt, and half understood. The priests filed solemnly through the hostel, now it was safe, blessing it and sprinkling unguents. They blessed and sprinkled Myal, too. Pale and shaking, clinging ...
Straight through and done with turquoise and lime. Yellow now: 4th Level Alert. Carver had dropped asleep, drugged this time by silence and the surrounding wrap of the dark. He thought he had dreamed of Anjeela again, standing under a magenta maple tree that had burned through the greenness of th...
“Where does the town go at night?” “What did you say?” Gregeris turned, but some sort of vagrant stood there, grinning at him out of a dirty, flapping overcoat. Gregeris supposed he wanted money. Otherwise the broad square was deserted in the pale grey afternoon, its clean lines undisturbed b...
Secluded, yet convenient to the soup kitchens downtown. It offered a dry, flat place for his sleeping bag, and some previous occupant had even built a fire ring out of the larger rocks. The bridge deck kept the snow and sleet off, and because the bridge wasn’t in use, he didn’t have to deal with ...

There were however local legends of persons who lived within the mire itself, creatures that knew the two or three safe paths across the mud. Generally they were said to be mad people, for if not crazy to begin with, the gloom, vapours, and weird sights of the bog soon sent them that way. They dw...

It was crowded. The walls were covered by long tapestries, and painted panels that told stories, both colored like jewels, and gilded. Silver lamps hung down twice the height of a tall man, yet well clear of the throng below. The candles were uncountable, and all starred with light. Instantly sla...
The oil lamps burned and the cook was taking her hair out of its pins, while Pillow bathed her child in the sink.Tanaquil advanced and, bravely opening the pail for the rubbish heap, began to rummage."Why, whatever are you after, Lady?""I'm looking for a nice juicy meat bone."Pillow gave a faint ...
WHEN THEY RETURNED, IT was after midnight. Proud and Tickle had finished their late work, and brought away a small bag of gold dust, unseen. They had begun to talk of leaving the mine, and meant soon to call on Soporo, Greedy, and the other dwarvixens, to see if they too might wish to travel else...

Jula sat still in the dark, her eyelids fastened shut, watching the images evolve across them. Her brain gave up to her every last detail, as it never had in her former living of this life. Every page had finally become accessible, every line. Total recall. &nb...
Waking, he moved to seize and destroy it, as he would have done a physical enemy. But already the nightmare wavered, subsided. He could not recall detail, only the dread and anguish that spread over him like a mountain of black stone. Yet its colour had not been black. It had been smoulder-red, w...
