Book Description
Welcome back to the world of spell books. This time we meet the teenage witches of Emi's old coven: Veda - Deceptively beautiful and deeply complex, she only looks like a porcelain doll. Fair Isle - A steampunk pixie with a dozen holes in her head. Intarsia - Looks like an elf strayed from the greenwood, who just had a meal of moss. Clementine - Would look like a Barbie doll if Barbie had been brutally beaten the night before. Pearl - Straggly and stringing like a rag doll, she looks like she'll never grow up. And... Salinger - who has come from his coven in the Yukon to find the girl of his dreams from among Veda and her cousins. It would be easy to choose, if their cousin, Antony, didn't keep getting in the way.

The Hidden Library of Tanith Lee
Author: Mavis Haut
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 0786483687
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
Despite the great diversity of settings in Tanith Lee's novels--from the pre-historic origins of Christianity to robot-dominated futurescapes--certain underlying thoughts and references appear consistently. While adhering formally to many of the writing conventions of the fantasy, science fiction and horror genres, Lee also engages the meaning of myths of the Greeks (particularly Dionysos), Egyptians, Persians and Indians. The dynamics of magic, alchemy, shamanism, Gnosticism and reincarnation also surface frequently. This critical work examines Lee's highly original applications of such themes and subtexts. Less prominent themes are also covered, as well as her insights into human nature, her humor, her numerous tributes to literature, her comments on writing, her games with space, time and language, and her preoccupation with detail and background. Also included is an interview with Tanith Lee, a bibliography of Lee's work, a general bibliography, and an index.
