I've been a Tanith Lee fan since I first read "The Birthgrave" back in 1990. When she's on her game, I don't think there's a finer writer anywhere. With "Sounds and Furies," Ms. Lee consistently hit the mark. The stories are wonderfully varied, almost feeling as if they were written by different people while still carrying her trademark word-paintings and gut-punch impact. I enjoyed every one of them.

Some of the stories also feel more personal, touching perhaps on her own health concerns (if you visit her web page, you will understand), and that element brought more than one sigh - along with many prayers that she will long remain with us and continue to gift us with her dark and beautiful visions.

As with all the Tanith Lee books/novels I've read, I was not disappointed with "Sounds and Furies." She is my favorite author when it comes to fantasy! This is a collection of short stories full of mild erotica, dark wonders and fantastical images.

If you are a Tanith Lee fan then be sure to get this book. You won't be disappointed. If you aren't familar with her works then this is a good time to become acquainted with a wonderful author!
