Redder Than Blood

Praise

Praise for Red as Blood:

“Lee has conceived something unique and executed it superlatively well, displaying gifts as both a fantasy writer and a folklorist.” —Booklist 

“Tanith Lee is Fantastika’s Joyce Carol Oates…. You can imagine these timeless stories whispered around an oasis campfire or in a sharship’s engine room.” —Locus 

“[Tanith Lee is the] Princess Royal of Heroic Fantasy and Goddess-Empress of the Hot Read.” —Village Voice

“Lee’s entrancing and vivid style make what may seem a minor exercise into a collection of essentially new stories with some of the resonances of folklore.” —Publishers Weekly

“Lee is equally at home with sf and fantasy, and in this collection of nine stories, she turns some familiar fairy tales inside-out, investing them with an unearthly aura.” —Library Journal

“[Lee retells] these classics with unique, insightful, often terrifying twists.” —Kliatt

“These are not just rewritten stories, they are retold. And the retelling is good enough that many of them ring as true as the originals.” —Science Fiction and Fantasy Book Review

“All of Lee’s stories have a style which is heroic, convincing and is feminist without interfering with the overall impact of her fiction. Red as Blood is one of her best.” —Fiction, Literature and the Arts Review

“[Tanith Lee] is one of the finest short story writers publishing in the field of fantasy and SF today.” —SFRA
