A short story collection by the award-winning author of The
Birthgrave and The Silver Metal Lover, the first installment of a
two-volume series.
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
of Hell," "Vermilia."

Disturbed By Her Song collects the work of Esther Garber and her
half-brother Judas Garbah, the mysterious family of writers that
Tanith Lee has been channeling for the past few years. Possibly
autobiographical, frequently erotic and darkly surreal, their
fiction takes place in a variety of eras and places, from Egypt in
the 1940s, to England in the grip of the Pre-Raphaelites, to gaslit
Paris and to the shadowy landscapes carved by the mind and memory.
The themes of youth and age stream through these tales of
homosexual love and desire. These stories recall, at times, the
work of Lawrence Durrell, Colette, and Angela Carter.
