Tanith Lee's Take on Werewolves,
By
This review is from: Lycanthia (Paperback)
Lycanthia is Tanith Lee's take on werewolves. It's the story of Christian Dorse, a terminally ill man who inherits an old chateau with a history. Nearby the old place is the mysterious woods where there exists more than just trees. It doesn't take long for Tanith Lee's hero to become seduced by the legend of the Lagenays. It's a small world for Christian as he finds he is linked to the Lagenays by more than just proximity. Dark secrets abound in this gothic, erotic world. The characters of Gabrielle and Luc prove quite real and add to the tale's unique touch of mystery. If werewolves, exorcisms, and erotic horror interest you, then pick this one up. I enjoyed this read and intend to continue reading Lee. Her style and unusual remastering of old ideas makes the normal seem somehow more alluring than before.

Tanith Lee at her best,
By
This review is from: Lycanthia (Paperback)
This is one of my favorite of Lee's books. It's about werewolves, wildness and the seduction of innocence.
