Tempting the Gods cover

  • Tempting the Gods collects some of Tanith Lee's fiction from the late80s to the present, from a variety of venues (Asimovs', WeirdTales, and Realms of Fantasy). They range in tone from the dark("Cain") and Arthurian Legend ("The Kingdoms of the Air"), to Arabian Nightsadventure ("These Beasts") and the just plain weird ("Tiger I"). All storiesfeature Lee's carefully crafted language, tight plotting, vivid imagination, andmatchless evocation of atmosphere. Not all tales are dark — there's evensome humor, such as the new to this collection "God and the Pig." Like Bradburyand Vance, Lee is a unique stylist. This collection — the first part of atwo part series — is a perfect introduction to her work, some of the bestwriting in the weird fiction category.
