Super Reader, December 31, 2007
A collection of three stories that averages 4.00. Add in beautiful alien women, evil monsters, Northwest Smith and his raygun, who could ask for more?
Shambleau : 1 Shambleau [short story] - C. L. Moore
Shambleau : 2 Black Thirst - C. L. Moore
Shambleau : 3 The Tree of Life - C. L. Moore
Shoot vampire gorgon women, don't ask them in for dinner.
4.5 out of 5
"Not even the lowest class of Venusian street-walker dared come along the waterfronts of Ednes on the nights when the space-liners were not in. Yet across the pavement came clearly now the light tapping of a woman's feet."
This leads him to monstrous vampiric alien, and to the aid of one his thralls, above.
"The-Guardians-still rove the halls, and unleashed now -so keep your ray-gun ready, Earthman. . ."
4 out of 5
Women who commune with trees and others in ruined temples are best avoided. Failing that, there is the trusty raygun solution.
