5.0 out of 5 stars
An enticing collection of stories for the dark fantasy lover
One of my most cherished books, "The Gorgon" was my first taste of Tanith Lee's talent. She has a real gift for capturing the atmosphere of the fairy tale in an entirely original way. If you can find this book, buy it!

Disappointing after Tales from the Flat Earth
'Magritte's Secret Agent' and 'The Gorgon' were my favorites and they were really good. 'Monkey's Stagger' is in essence just a really long bad pun (other parts are funny) and 'Because Our Skins are Finer' was just plain bad. Tanith Lee is one of my favorite authors but this stuff was just average and as my title says disappointing after reading some of her other...

Ah! Tanith Lee short stories!,

This review is from: The Gorgon and Other Beastly Tales (Paperback)
A couple stories didn't move me. But the rest DID. The short stories range from quirky to chilling to poignantly beautiful, with scenes set in our world & others.Even my little brother got all dewy-eyed & reverent when I made him read one of the stories. That says a lot.

A collection of stories you will not soon forget,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Gorgon and Other Beastly Tales (Paperback)
Tanith Lee does it again in this collection of anecdotes. From the starting story "The Gorgon" to the ending story "La Reine Blanche" you are hooked. These short stories tell of interesting and fantastic but believable characters that hold you to the end. From the mute "Sirriamnis" to the grizzled old apothecary in "Draco,Draco", the heavenly appearence of the beautiful aliens in "Quatt-sup" to the gorgeous autistic man in "Magritte's Secret Agent", Lee shines in the stories written in first-person viewpoint like personal diaries. Definite reccomended reading.

Tanith Lee is one of my favorite authors but this stuff was just average and as my title says disappointing after reading some of her other books. Of course this is just my opinion (but that's what we're here for isn't it?)
