Volume two of the magical short story collection by Nebula and
World Fantasy Award winner Tanith Lee, author of The Silver Metal
Lover and The Birthgrave. "Gothic poetess, comic young-adult
author, robust adventure-fantasy novelist: Tanith Lee has more
writing personas than Sybil. But in her short fiction, all these
aspects come gloriously together. Such stories as 'Antonius
Bequeathed' or 'The Persecution Machine,' with their death-defying
mixture of prose poetry, genre trope reversals and ominous wit,
could be written by no one else." - WEIRD TALES magazine Stories
include: "The Woman in Scarlet," "One For Sorrow," "Unlocking the
Golden Cage," "Antonius Bequeathed," "Doll Skulls," "Queens in
Crimson," "Flower Water," "The Persecution Machine," "All the Birds

Once upon a time there was a mirror. . . .
So begins this dark, unusual retelling of the story of Snow White by the writer reviewers have called “the Angela Carter of the fantasy field”—a whole novel based on a beloved story, turning it into a dark and sensual drama full of myth and magic.
Arpazia is the aging queen who paces the halls of a warlord’s palace. Cold as winter, she has only one passion—for the mysterious hunter who courts the outlawed old gods of the woodland. Coira is the princess raised in the shadow of her mother’s hatred. Avoided by both her parents and half forgotten by her father’s court, she grows into womanhood alone . . . until the mirror speaks, and blood is spilled, and the forest claims her.
The tragic myth of the goddess Demeter and her daughter, Persephone, stolen by the king of the underworld, is woven together with the tale of Snow White to create a powerful story of mothers and daughters and the blood that binds them together, for good or ill. Black queen. White maid. Royal huntsman. Seven little folk who live in the forest. Come inside, sit by the fire, and listen to this fairy tale as you’ve never heard it told before.

In a world dedicated to pleasure, one young rebel sets out on a forbidden quest--.
Published for the first time in a single volume, Tanith Lee's duet of novels set in a hedonistic Utopia are as riveting and revolutionary as they were when they first appeared two decades ago.
It's a perfect existence, a world in which no pleasure is off-limits, no risk is too dangerous, and no responsibilities can cramp your style. Not if you're Jang: a caste of libertine teenagers in the city of Four BEE. But when you're expected to make trouble--when you can kill yourself on a whim and return in another body, when you're encouraged to change genders at will and experience whatever you desire--you've got no reason to rebel...until making love and raising hell, daring death and running wild just leave you cold and empty.
Ravenous for true adventures of the mind and body, desperate to find some meaning, one restless spirit finally bucks the system--and by shattering the rules, strikes at the very heart of a soulless society....
Love is made of more than mere flesh and blood....
Tanith Lee is one of the most thought-provoking and imaginative
authors of our time. In this unforgettably poignant novel, Lee has
created a classic tale--a beautiful, tragic, erotic, and ultimately
triumphant love story of the future.
For sixteen-year-old Jane, life is a mystery she despairs of ever
mastering. She and her friends are the idle, pampered children of
the privileged class, living in luxury on an Earth remade by
natural disaster. Until Jane's life is changed forever by a chance
encounter with a robot minstrel with auburn hair and silver skin,
whose songs ignite in her a desperate and inexplicable passion.
Jane is certain that Silver is more than just a machine built to
please. And she will give up everything to prove it. So she escapes
into the city's violent, decaying slums to embrace a love bordering
on madness. Or is it something more? Has Jane glimpsed in Silver
something no one else has dared to see--not even the robot or his
creators? A love so perfect it must be destroyed, for no human
could ever compete?
