Book Review of The Gorgon and Other Beastly Tales

The Gorgon and Other Beastly Tales
Frankiecay avatar reviewed on


From back cover: The Gorgon, a brilliant shocker that leads off this scintillating new collection of Tanith Lee's tales, was the winner of the World Fantasy Award for best short story of the year. It is appropriate that it gives its title to these tales ranging from horror and the supernatural to science fiction, from the writer who has been justly termed "Princess Royal of Heroic Fantasy."

Here you will find unforgettable encounters of men and beasts--of dragons and unicorns, cats and seals, virgins and vampires. This is truly a feast of treasures for eyeryone whose taste runs to a gourmet imagination
