Women as Demons: The Male Perception of Women through Space and Time
"Tanith Lee is a master of the art of storytelling. She writes with coruscating precision, dazzling wit, and an insight into both the human and the magical conditions that is unparalleled. And she has made the female heart her particular domain. In Women as Demons the reader will remeet with delight and awe some old friends, and will come across new tales that are a revelation." – Jane Yolen
In this rich and varied new collection of fantasy, science fiction and horror stories – some of which have been selected for "Best of the Year" anthologies – Tanith Lee brings her power to bear on the nature of relationships between women and men. The witch, the femme fatale, the vengeful goddess, the Amazon – past, present and future – spring to life in these tales of mystery and imagination.
Tanith Lee is twice winner of the World Fantasy Award for short stories, and of the British Fantasy Award for her novel Death's Master.
