My last piece of news concerns the renewal fee for the domain name for the site. As always I want to thank Kathy Ayers who has graciously supported this site once more and sent
that to me. My thanks, as always, Kathy.
4 May 2008
I receicved an email from Ian Titus this week about a new story called "My Life As A Swan" in the original anthology edited by Marvin Kaye, called A Book of Wizards.
It only seems to be available via the Science Fiction Book Club now,
though it will most likely be available through a "real" publisher later on. I also discovered that the SFBC edition of The Secret Books Of Paradys: The
Complete Cycle is also available for purchase. So I have ordered a copy of that as well for the bibliography. When both some in I will add the details and a cover scan. Thanks very
much, Ian.
4 May 2008
Hello all. I have several pieces of news to report today. So let's get started. Firstly, the New Paradys Forum is in
full swing. So please come and join us. We have all decided to have a trade board up on the site. That has been a great help to some of us. One of the nices things that happened is
that NIcole Plantina found me a copy of the US DAW, 6th printing, issued in 1983 of The Storm Lord that had yet been undescribed on this site.
So I added a cover scan and a full description. Many thanks, Nicole!! Now if I could only figure out the date of the 5th US DAW printing that I have on hand, I would add that one, too.
6 April 2008
Hello, I have two pieces of news to report. The first one has to do with a new story in the new Weird Tales. It's called "The Heart Of Ice".
I've added a listing, a word count, and a summary of the story. It's a good one. This issue is one of my favorite ones in recent memory, as well. The article called "The 85 Weirdest
Storytellers of the Past 85 Years" includes Tanith Lee. The other 84 names listed are equally as apt and include musicians, visual artists, film makers, and other authors. If your favorite
freak did not make the list, go and Share Your Weird. I had to insist that Blixa Bargeld (Nick Cave made the list,
yay!!) and Katherine Dunn (author of Geek Love) be added. So go forth, children, and make your voice heard!!!
6 April 2008
The second piece of news is very exciting. In the last week or so, two member of the Paradys mailing list have written me to ask me if I knew what happened to it. So I visited
the Yahoo group. It has, indeed, disappeared. So I activated and built a SMF forum off of Daughter of the Night. Paradys
has been reborn. Come and join us. You will have to register in order to be able to post, but please come join us.
30 March 2008
Hello and welcome. I have two very bried updates to add today. I want to thank Craig Gidney for alerting me a a new short story in the 85th anniversary issue of
Weird Tales. It's called "Heart of Ice" and you
can order the issue directly from Wildside Press. I've got my copy being sent to me now and I will add a listing and a summary
when I get that. Incidently Craig Gidney also has a piece in the special feature of the issue called "The 85 Weirdest Storytellers of the Past 85 Years" - of course, he is the
one to comment on Tanith Lee's stories. Congratulations, Craig, and many thanks, as usual.
30 March 2008
The other piece of news is also a big one. As you all know, Tanith Lee was one of the guest of honor at Eastercon. Craig Gidney was there
as a member of some of the panels and Sarah Singleton did the guest of honor interview. I have been in touch with the organizers and I hope to build a page with some recollections
and photos and a transcript of the guest of honor interview just as I did for Octocon in 2004. More will be
forthcoming on this soon, I hope. So for now that is it. More to come very soon.
15 March 2008
Hello and apologies for the long delay. I have two new updates for today. The first is for a listing, summary and word count for the new short story "Lace-Maker,
Blade-Taker, Grave-Breaker, Priest". This excellent story contains the first mention of the forthcoming series The Secret Books of Petragravia that we have seen. I do need to clarify
something, however. In a communication from the author, Tanith Lee wrote: "The series is the Lost Books of Petragrava - but no one has bought it yet, nor are the books actually written, so no schedule
as yet. However I do mean to write it. Meanwhile... "Lace Maker etc." is scheduled for inclusion in the series as well as being published by Norilana/Leda. there is also a novella "Strindberg's
Ghost Sonata" set entirely in the city, which is due out sometime this year from the SF Book club of America (editor Marvin Kaye) antho[logy] title The Ghost Quartet." So there is the
situation. Nevertheless in keeping with the tradition here at Daughter of the Night, I have added a series title for the The Secret Books Of Petragravia.
We look forward to the novels and the other stories in this series.
15 March 2008
My second update is to add a listing for the Duckworth hardcover edition of The Secret Books Of Paradys: The Complete Paradys Cycle, which came out
the middle of last month. For those who have bought the Overlook harcover and trade paperback, the Duckworth edtions are the same publication. So please consider this the UK release of this
omnibus edition of the Paradys cycle.
13 February 2008
Hello, all, and welcome to another update. Sorry for the delay. I have been wrestling with free time lately and tonight I finally won. In any case, I have three pieces of news to report.
The first is that I have added a listing, word count and summary for the new short story "The Beautiful And The Damned By F. Scott Fitzgerald" in the
January issue of Asimov's Science Fiction.
13 February 2008
The second piece of news has to do with yet another delay for The Selected Stories of Tanith Lee Volume 1: Tempting The Gods. Nicole Platania forwarded me the reply that she
received from Wildside Press. They sent an email that read: "May is what we're hoping for. Tanith is currently proofing the interior as we speak, I hope".
So, again, it seems that we have to wait until May. I've fixed the forthcoming date in the Chronology Page. Thanks to Nicole for
following up on this highly anticipated anthology.
13 February 2008
Craig Gidney has notified me of yet another anthology from Norilana Books with a Tanith Lee story called "The Woman".
This anthology is called Clockwork Phoenix: Tales Of Beauty And Strangeness; it is edited by Mike Allen and is due for release in July of 2008. And remember again, as of tomorrow
the Norilana anthology called Lace and Blade with the new short story "Lace-Maker, Blade-Taker, Grave-Breaker, Priest" is available for purchase tomorrow. So please, let's support
Vera Nazarian for and her company Norilana Books for giving us two more anthologies with some new stories. The fans are very grateful!! Again, thanks to Craig for the information about
Clockwork Phoenix: Tales Of Beauty And Strangeness.
20 January 2008
Alex Holden from Orbital 2008 was kind enough to send me an image that I could put on the index page. I have done so. Tanith Lee will
be one of the guests of honor at the Con from the 21st to the 24th, which will take place in Heathrow, London at the Radisson Edwardian Hotel. For those of you that are going, enjoy
yourselves and please pay your respects to the author.
16 January 2008
Hello again. I have a short update this time. I heard from Suzannah Rich, at Duckworth, the UK publisher of the The Secret Books Of Paradys: The
Complete Paradys Cycle. She gave me some clarification on the quandry I had before regarding the UK printing of the omnibus. She wrote: "They are one and the same edition,
we are taking the copies that were printed in the States. So if you have the Overlook one, it is the same one we are publishing here. Often publishers print the hardback and paperback
at the same times to save on costs but it is rare that they are published at the same time. As you can see, here in the UK there is a gap between the release of the hardback and paperback
edition." So the printing information is: Ł25 Hbk ISBN 9780715637500 (due out on February 21st) and Ł16.99 Pbk ISBN 9780715637555 (published in the UK in Autumn). I can now clear this up
having had the information from the horse's mouth. I appreciate Suzannah contacting me on this matter.
14 January 2008
Two updates for today. The first of which was supplied by Craig Gidney, who informed me that there was an update on Tanith Lee's Official Website.
She informs us of new publications coming out in Asimov's Science Fiction, which I just reported on the 7th of this month, and new stories in H.P. Lovecraft's Magazine, Weird Tales,
and Realms of Fantasy. There is also going to be a new short story called "Lace-maker, Blade-Taker, Grave-Breaker, Priest" in the forthcoming anthology called Lace And Blade. This
anthology will be released on 14 February by Norilana Books - Leda. Many thanks to Bill Pearson for that link. As a special surprise
with this update is what Tanith calls a "Short story - for Christmas cynics". It's called "Battle". I've added a listing, a word count and a summary for this new vignette. As always, thanks
to Craig and Bill for their dedication and notifications.
7 Janurary 2008
Happy New Year!!! It's going to be a great one I think!!! I have some quick updates for still installment. The first one is that Bill Pearson has told me about a new story in the January
2008 issue of Asimov's Science Fiction. It's called "The Beautiful and Damned by F. Scott Fitzgerald" and I will have to order it diresctly from Asimov's publisher as I cannot find
it in my area. So when this issue comes in I will add a listing, a word count and a summary. Thanks again to Bill for informing me of this new story.
7 Janurary 2008
My second piece of news arrived via the Paradys mailing list courtesy also of Bill Pearson. Jeff Vandermeer's Ministry of Wrym Press will
be issuing some of Tanith's works. The press release reas like this: "Effective January 1, 2008, Jeff VanderMeer's Ministry of Whimsy Press will come out of hibernation as an imprint of Wyrm Publishing.
VanderMeer will work as a creative consultant and publicist for the Ministry's books. In its previous incarnations, the Ministry published the Philip K. Dick Award-winning Troika by Stepan Chapman,
as well as the landmark Leviathan fiction anthologies. The Ministry was a World Fantasy Award finalist in 1998 and VanderMeer won a World Fantasy Award in 2003 for co-editing Leviathan 3, also a
Philip K. Dick Award-winning Troika by Stepan Chapman, as well as the landmark anthology of flash fiction in support of literacy projects that features contributions from Gene Wolfe, Peter Straub,
Tanith Lee, Stephen R. Donaldson, Rikki Ducornet, Caitlin Kiernan, Michael Swanwick, and many more. Through Wyrm Publishing, the Ministry will release two to three books a year, with the Leviathan
series set to return in 2009. The Ministry is not currently soliciting book projects." As of now no more information is available but if I discover any more, I will most certainly post it.
7 Janurary 2008
My final piece of news is a really exciting one. This was sent to me via Craig Gidney and it involves the republishing of the Tales of the Flat Earth Series.
Norilana Books, which is a small publishing house run by Vera Nazarian expects to start reprinting the series in two volumes in 2009. The press release as it
was sent to me by Craig Gdney read like this: "Norilana Books has announced that they have signed a seven-book deal with Tanith Lee. They'll be reprinting her "Flat Earth" series of books,
which includes Night's Master, Death's Master, Delusion's Master, Delirium's Mistress, and Night's Mysteries. They'll also be publishing two new books continuining the series: The Earth is Flat
(a short story collection) and Earth's Master (a new novel). Norilana expects to start releasing the books in 2009." This is very exciting as it will hopefully expose a new generation of fans to this
series which has been out of print for years.
8 December 2007
Hello, and welcome to a new update. I've added a listing, word count, and summary for a new short story in the September-October 2007 issue of Weird Tales. It's called
"Sold" and it's another great example of Tanith's Lee's rapier wit and humor. Single issues can be had from
Wildside Press.
23 November 2007
Hello again. I've taken advantage of the long holiday weekend here in the US to add three German Translations to the bibliography. I added
Cyrion published in 1984 as Cyrion: Schwert Und Magie, Red As Blood, Or, Tales From The Sisters Grimmer
published in 1985 as Rot Wie Blut: Die Märchen Der Schwestern Grimmig, and Tamastara, Or, The Indian Nights published in 1987 as
Indische Nächte: Eine Magische Reise In Eine Dunkle Welt. As you all well know all these are short story collections so I had to index all the individual stories and not
just the separate publications themselves. But I am done with these now. OF course I also added cover scans as well. There are many more German translations to add but I wanted to do these
works first as they presented the most work. I also emailed Duckworth in the UK to ask about the situation with the proposed February printing of the omnibus edition of
The Secret Books Of Paradys: The Complete Paradys Cycle. I hope that I will hear some kind of explanation to pass on to you here. So, hopefully, more news will be forthcoming.
22 November 2007
Hello. Welcome to another update. I've added a new listing for the simultaneous printing of the omnibus edition of The Secret Books Of Paradys: The
Complete Paradys Cycle. As I mentioned before the harcover and the trade paperback were printed simultaneously with neither one having priority. I am glad that Overlook
finally published the omnibus. We've been waiting a long time for this to come out. I must add that it looks as if there is a separate UK publisher for the omnibus, as well.
Duckworth looks like it might not only distribute Overlook in the UK but also is a publisher in its own
right. What I can say is the trade paperback edition of the Omnibus is scheduled to come out in February of 2006. I can say that there are three ISBNs listed on the copyright
page of both the trade paperback and the hardcover editons of the Overlook US edtions, and the Duckworth UK ISBN matches that one. I will look into this and report back. In the meantime, if anyone
has any information they might be able to impart, please contact me. Thanks.
10 November 2007
Hello again. I've just received by copy of Indigara Or, Jet And Otis Conquer The World. Sharyn November, Tanith's editor at Firebird graciously
sent this to me. I am very gateful to her. I've added a listing, a word count and a summary to the bibliograhy. I've also received the hardcover copy of the Omnibus edition of
The Secret Books of Paradys but I am waiting until I receive the simultanously printed paperback copy to add the listing to the bibliography. I hope to do that soon. The paperback
copy is on its way to me so it should not be long.
28 October 2007
Hello all! It's been about a month since my last update. But I have three pieces of news. So let's get started, shall we? Okay, well to begin, I have received my copy of
Piratica III and I have added a word count, a cover scan and a summary for the book. I look forward to reading this one.
28 October 2007
Secondly, Indigara, the new young adult novel is now available for purchase from all of the usual suspects. As you may remember, I received a preview of the new book
from Sharyn November at Firebird and I really, really enjoyed it. Sharyn has graciously agreed to send me a proper copy of the book so, as soon as I receive that, I will add a cover
scan, a listing and word count for that.
28 October 2007
Thirdly, our wait is over. With much confusion of many variations on the printed cover artwork, the omnibus of The Secret Books of Paradys will be released on November 1 by
Overlook Press. Remember, please, that this omnibus edition is being published both in hardcover and in paperback simultaneously. So if you would like to have both, please remember to
order both. As soon as I have both of these in my hand I will add cover scans, listings and a summary.
28 October 2007
My last piece of news is that the Puffin paperback reprint of the original anthology Firebirds Rising with the short story "The House On The Planet"
was released mid October. I have added a listing for this reprint as well.
24 September 2007
Hello all, I have one very good piece of news and another piece of confusing news. First to the good piece of news: Piratica III: The Family Sea is now out and available from
all the usual suspects. I have ordered my copy and, as soon as I get it, I will add a listing, a word count and a summary for the third and final part of the trilogy.
24 September 2007
Now for the confusing news. Chris Hart from Paradys mentioned that there was a new Tanith Lee story in the forthcoming anthology called The Mammoth Book of Best New Horror
published by Carroll and Graf. Bill Pearson did some research and discovered that, while her name is listed on the book cover as one of the authors, there is actually no Tanith Lee
story in the anthology. The anthology does have some good stories but none by the subject of this bibliography. Thanks all, more later.
15 August 2007
John Betancourt, of Wildside Press, responded to my query on the Forum about the release date of Temping The Gods:
The Selected Stories of Tanith Lee Volume One. The release date was scheduled as July of this year, but he writes that it has been delayed until February of 2008.
So there's the answer for now. This means that Hunting The Shadows: The Selected Stories of Tanith Lee Volume Two will also be delayed. Patience, readers and fans.
We must be patient until next year.
13 August 2007
With many thanks to Craig Gidney and Chris Hart, I am able to report a much anticipated update to Tanith Lee's Homepage. It's a brief
update with some bad news about the much anticpated novel called Greyglass, which is in the proof state and without a publisher. Sad news. I hope that a publisher can be found
eventually for the book. Also STILL no news about Temping The Gods: The Selected Stories of Tanith Lee Volume One from Wildside Press.
I will keep trying to contact them and report on any news that I receive.
13 August 2007
Secondly, my friend in Barcelona, Manuel, has sent me the Spanish translation of Pirática II as published by Roca Editorial. I have added a listing
and a cover scan for the sequel which came out in May of this year. Muchas gracias, Manuel.
29 July 2007
I see that Tempting The Gods: The Selected Stories Of Tanith Lee Volume One is out, according to Amazon US and Amazon UK. I do not, however, see it listed on current
new releases from Wildside Press. So please don't order it yet through Amazon, if that is what you intend to do. Instead, I will put in a
phone call to Wildside and see what is up on Monday and I will report back. Wildside is a brilliant little machine and if you are able to order directly from them, please, please order
through them. I've done this a lot for individial issues of Weird Tales and their service is great. Support the little guys, okay?!?! More on this as soon as I know.
29 July 2007
I've also added a listing and cover scan for the May 2007 reprint of Wolf Wing published by Hodder Children's Books in the UK. I want to thank Bill
Pearson, as always, for sending me a copy and making me aware of the reprint.
15 July 2007
I've received my copy of No Flame But Mine, the third volume of the The Lionwolf Trilogy. I've added
a listing, word count and summary for the new book. I've also added a cover scan. I am really looking forward to start reading this one. You can now get this through the usual suspects.
Thanks very much, as always, Peter.
15 July 2007
I was contacted by Sharyn November, from Firebird, to ask me to double check the author's bibliography. As you Sharyn is editing the forthcoming new novel/novella Indigara,
due out in October of this year. She sent me a typed proof for me to read and I am really liking it so far. I devoured half of it yesterday. It's going to be a great young adult work. As
October approaches and I have more information I will post it. Thanks very much, Sharyn.
5 July 2007
I've added a summary and word count for the new novelette "The Hill" in the new original anthology called The Mammoth Book of Monsters
edited by Stephen Jones. It's a very cool story. Highly recommended. Also No Flame But Mine has been released in the UK. I've got a copy on the way from Peter Lavery at
Tor Macmillan, so thanks very much Peter! When I've received the book I will add a listing, a word count and the summary. I am looking forward to reading this one.
1 July 2007
My apologies for the long delay. I had some serious computer problems and had to get back up and running before I could really get to any of my projects. So, thanks for you your
patience. I wanted to let everyone know that I have received my copy of the new anthology The Mammoth Book of Monsters edited by Stephen Jones with the new novelette
"The Hill". I have added a listing and will add a word count and a summary this week.
10 June 2007
Hello everyone, I received word from Bill Pearson that Dark Alchemy: Magical Tales from Masters of Modern Fantasy with the new short story "Zinder"
has now been released in the UK. So I have added a listing.
10 June 2007
I also got word via Paradys from Craig Gidney that a new novelette "The Hill" was relesed in the new anthology The Mammoth Book of Monsters, as edited by Stephen Jones.
I've just placed more order and will add this new short story when I receive it. Many thanks, as always, Craig.
19 May 2007
I've added a word count and a summary for the new short story "Zinder" in Wizards: Magical Tales from the Masters of Modern Fantasy,
as edited by Jack Dann & Gardner Dozois.
12 May 2007
Lots of news to report today, so let's get started. Firstly, I've added a listing for the trade paperback reprint of the anthology The Fair Folk with the novelette
"Uous". This was reprinted by Ace in February of 2007 and escaped me until this week.
12 May 2007
Secondly, I decided to put in a call to Overlook Press about the forthcoming omnibus edition of The Secret Books Of Paradys. This was supposed to have been released
in December of last year and now in April of this year. No such luck. When I spoke to someone there they told me the release date, for **both** the harcdcover and the trade paperback
editions, were November of this year. Amazon has it listed for sale now - but I can assure that it won't be available until November.
12 May 2007
Finally, I reported on the 25th of March on the new short story in the anthology Wizards: Magical Tales from the Masters of Modern Fantasy, as edited by Jack Dann &
Gardner Dozois. It has just been published under this title by Berkley in US, and will be published under the title Dark Alchemy: Magical Tales from Masters of Modern Fantasy
by Bloomsbury in the UK in June. I reported the title of the short story as "Quaker" ... well I was wrong!! The title is "Zinder"!! I've received my
copy of the US edition and I've added a listing. Once I have devoured the story this weekend, I will add a word count and a summary.
8 April 2007
I've added a summary and a word count for the new short story "Green Wallpaper" in the new anthology
The Secret History Of Vampires, edited by Darrell Schweitzer and Martin H. Greenburg, and printed by DAW. It's a delicious story ... be sure to get
your copy soon!!
7 April 2007
I've received my copy of the new the anthology The Secret History Of Vampires, edited by Darrell Schweitzer and Martin H. Greenburg.
I've added a listing for the new story "Green Wallpaper". I will devour it this afternoon, gourmand that I am,
and add a summary and a word count. It looks good!! Just a quick reminder that the Omnibus edition of The Secret Books of Paradys is going
to be released from Overlook Press on the 19th of this month. So if you are interested in acquiring that, you have now been reminded.
7 April 2007
The other nice thing that happened today was that I received a package from Bill Pearson in the UK. Among the contents was the Feb. 2007 reissue of
The Queen Of The Wolves from Hodder Children's Books in the UK. So I've added a cover scan and a listing and, as always,
I thank Bill very much for his help in acquiring this book from England.
6 April 2007
I've been informed by Craig Gidney that a new story has just been published in the anthology The Secret History Of Vampires, edited by
Darrell Schweitzer and printed by DAW. The name of the story is "Green Wallpaper" and it's available now through all the usual suspects. I've ordered
my copy and I will add an annotation, word count and summary as soon as I receive it. In the meantime I want to thank Craig for his information!
25 March 2007
I got an email from Bill Pearson this morning alerting me to a new story in the forthcoming anthology Wizards: Magical Tales from the Masters
of Modern Fantasy, as edited by Jack Dann & Gardner Dozois. It will be published under this title by Berkley in US in May, and under the title
Dark Alchemy: Magical Tales from Masters of Modern Fantasy by Bloomsbury in the UK in June. The story is called "Quacker" and is available for
pre-order by all the usual suspects. Many thanks to Bill again for this piece of news.
24 March 2007
After a very long wait, the Overlook Press omnibus edition of The Secret Books of Paradys will be out on April 19. It's avaialble for pre-order through Amazon
and all of the other usual suspects. We all thought that we'd all have to wait until December or so for this, so this is good news. Bill Pearson spotted this on Amazon, so
thanks, as always, Bill. Also spotted on Amazon is the forthcoming novella from Firebird called Indigara which is now supposed to be out in October of this year.
There is no pre-order yet available but soon we hope.
24 March 2007
With great pleasure and much thanks I am able to add the cover scan and information for last year's Spanish translation of
Piratica published in Barcelona by Roca Editorial. This book was graciously sent to me by the very wonderful Manuel Pizarro Hidalgo in Barceolona.
I am also happy to report that the sequel Piratica II will be out very soon and then that is released Manuel will also be
sending me a copy of that, as well. Muchas gracias, Manuel!!.
3 March 2007
I've recieved a few reprints in from Peter Lavery at Tor Macmillan, in England. He graciously had the mass-market paperback
reprints of Cast A Bright Shadow and Here In Cold Hell
sent to me. I am very grateful for this help from Tor and from Peter, so thanks, as ever. Also he wanted me to inform everyone
that the third and final book in the Lionwolf trilogy, No Flame But Mine will be out from Tor Macmillan in July of this year.
So stay tuned and watch this space.
27 February 2007
Craig Gidney found the most amazing thing while browsing for spoken word receordings:
Azhdark Passion, by the Spanish artist Psicodreamics (i.e. Salva Moreno). It prompted me to add a new section:
Music Inspired by Tanith Lee's works. This is the only recording in there now but I hope this section
will grow. Thanks very much Craig for this most interesting discovery!
3 February 2007
I've received a nice gift in the mail today from Hubert Jakobs in Talinn, Estonia. He graciously sent me a copy of
the only known Estonian translation of Tanith Lee's works, namely East Of Midnight,
translated as "Itta, Vastu Keskööle", published in 1993. I am very grateful for Hubert's help in securing the only copy
that either he or I could locate. I've added a cover can and a full listing for this book.
27 January 2007
I've received two books from France today. In October 2006 and January 2007, parts 1 and 2 respectively on Heroine Of The World came out, using Oxymore's translation. As Oxymore has now sadly
folded, these have been published by Points Fantasy. I've added listings and cover scans for the books.
26 January 2007
I've added a summary for the new short story "Cold Fire". It's a good and told in an
interesting kind of patois that is very reminiscent of Melville. The February 2007 edition of Asimov's Science Fiction
should be available on the newstands now. I need to make only one other comment. In the intoduction to the story, it says that
Egerton House has already released To Indigo and Greyglass. Just for clarification's sake, neither of these books
are out yet. I've been informed that they may be released this year but a concrete forthcoming date is unknown.
24 January 2007
I've received the February 2007 issue of Asimov's Science Fiction with the new short story
"Cold Fire". I've added a listing and a word count for the story. I'll read that as soon as I can and add a story summary.
22 January 2007
Hello everyone, you may notice a new feature on this site, that is the nice icon that graces the URL string in the menu
bar. This is new and was very graciously designed by Tim Murphy in Kentucky. I want to thank Tim for desiging this great icon
for the website.
13 January 2007
Cristian Amargós in Spain wrote me again to inform me of another Spanish translation that I has missed. This time it is
a Spanish translation of Ellen Datlow's anthology Blood Is Not Enough. Translated as Vampiros and published
by RobinBooks in Madrid in 1991, it contains a translation of "The Janfia Tree", transated
by Josep Rovira as "El Árbol Janfia". I've added a listing to the bibliography and Cristian will try and find out the page
numbers in the anthology for me. Muchas gracias, Cristian!
13 January 2007
I had a very email from Cristian Amargós in Spain. He informed me that I would be able to buy a copy of the Spanish
translation of Piratica from FNAC Spain. I went ahead
and did that this week. Hopefully I will have a copy of that to add to the bibliography very soon. He also informed of a
translation of a story that I did not include in this bibliography. "Nunc Dimittis" was also
included in the Spanish edition of the The Dodd, Mead Gallery Of Horror, printed as Horror: Lo Mejor Del Terror
Contemporáneo, in Barcelona, by Martínez Roca in 1986. So I have added that. I am very grateful to Cristian for his help.
13 January 2007
In another piece of translation news, I have added a listing and a cover scan for a German version of
Sung In Shadow. Printed by Bastei-Lübbe in 1986, it is called Romeo Und Julia In Der Anderswelt (or Romeo and
Juliet in the Underworld). I have added a listing and a cover scan for this translation.
9 January 2007
I've heard from both Jim Pattison and Chris Hart in Australia that there is a new short story in the February 2007
issue of Asimov's Science Fiction. The story is called "Cold Fire" and gets a very good review in the January 2007
issue of Locus Magazine. They write: "But gloom is undispelled in 'Cold Fire' by Tanith Lee, a dark, wrenching
vernacular journey into polar wastelands in the company of a monster and some vaguely cretinous sailors; Edgar Allen Poe
would have approved." I am now looking for a place that actually carries the magazine, and I hope to get a copy soon and to
add a listing, a summary, and a word count. Stay tuned.

Happy New Year to everyone. May it be a prosperous one for all of you!! I have started off my new year adding two more
German Translations. Der Dunkle Engel and
Der Gott Der Waldes are parts I (books I and II) and and II (books III-V) of
The Blood Of Roses and were published in Munich by Wilhelm Heyne Verlag in 1995.
I have adding listings and cover scans for both parts. I have more translations coming in, both in German and in other
languages, so please stay tuned.

With the help of Jim Pattison and DAW Collector, Dennis Mullin, I am trying to resolve some the "DAW Books Inc. madness".
I am trying to sort out the various printings, both as published by DAW Books Inc. (USA) and The New American Library
(Canadian DAW). Dennis writes: "Now, part of the problem with printings is that DAW would sometimes publish in both USA
and Canada when the book came out and that would be the 1st and 2nd printing. Also to confuse things there was a time
period when the cover price on the book would have either the US price or the Canadian price (2 separate versions).
They eventually got smart and listed both prices on the cover." Thank you Dennis, although the whole printing history is
still as clear as mud, it is a start and I do begin to understand. I have actually written DAW (which is now owned by
Penguin, though still run by the Wollheims) a very nice letter, in fact, and have not received a reply. I will send
another copy and hope someone is kind enough to answer my request for a key to the various printings. In the meantime,
I want to thank Dennis for his help and will try and continue to clear up the "DAW Books Inc. madness".
