Hello all. I have two brief updates today. The first was sent to me by Bill Pearson this morning. He informed me of the title of the poem in Off the Coastal Path: Dark Poems from the Seaside,
edited by Jo Fletcher and illustrated by Ben Baldwin, which will be available in March. The title of poem is "Three Seas". I have added that to the chronology. As always, thanks
very much, Bill.
28 February 2010
My second update is thanks to Marjo Kauppi in Finland. Marjo graciously sent me the Swedish mass-market paperback translation of Piratica I and the
hardcover copy of Piratica II, both of which I was hunting for. Marjo has been very helpful with sending me both Swedish and Finnish translations
and I am most grateful. I have added full listings and cover scans. So thank you, as always, Marjo.
21 February 2010
I have one brief update today. A new short story called "Ne Que V’On Desir" was printed last year in
Icarus: The Magazine Of Gay Speculative Fiction. The new story is by Tanith Lee, writing as Judas Garber, the brother of Esther Garber. You can order a subscription
or a single issue via Magcloud. Craig Gidney, who is the associate editor for Lethe, has kindly offered to send me a copy of the magazine.
But I have read the story and I have all the information needed to create a listing so I have done that. The story is amazing!! Please do not hesitiate to acquire the issue or
subscribe. And thanks to Craig and Steve Berman, as well, of Lethe for all of their kind and generous assistance.
14 February 2010
Hello and welcome to a new update. I've been meaning to get to this update for about two weeks but today I finally have the time. Firstly, and most importantly, there is
a new update on Tanith Lee's website. It appreared about two weeks ago and I want to thank Bill Peason for alerting me to the update.
14 February 2010
Secondly, we have reprints of short stories that were published last year. Cristian in Spain informed me of a reprint of the short story
"King's Mage" in September 2009 in the anthology The Mammoth Book Of Merlin. It was printed simultaneously in both Philadelphia by Running Press and in London
by Robinson. I've added a listing for that.
14 February 2010
Earlier in January, the novelette "The Human Mystery" in the anthology The Improbable Adventures of Sherlock Holmes was
issed as an audio book. I have added a listing for that too. I don't remember who told me about this so pardon me for forgetting that and thanks very much!!
14 February 2010
Next, and with thanks to Bill Peason again, I have news to report of a reprint of the short strory "Arthur's Lion" in the
reprint anthology Tails Of Wonder And Imagination edited by Ellen Datlow. This was released in February.
14 February 2010
Lastly, and with thanks to Bill Pearson again, he sent me a press release from PS Publishing. It read: "Also, we'll be launching the first titles from our new poetry imprint,
Stanza Press, kicking off with Off the Coastal Path: Dark Poems from the Seaside, edited by Jo Fletcher and illustrated by Ben Baldwin, featuring contributions from Ray Bradbury,
Donald Sidney-Fryer, Neil Gaiman, John Gordon, Ursula K. LeGuin, John Kaiine, Joel Lane, Tanith Lee, Brian Lumley, H.P. Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, T.M. Wright, Dana Gioia,

for all of his assistance.
4 January 2010
Hello again. I have one update today. I received my copy of Sky Whales And Other Wonders with the new story "The Sky Won’t Listen".
This Norilana anthology was released at the very end of last year. I've added a listing, a word count and a summary for the story.
1 January 2010
Hello again and happy new year. It's the beginning of a new decade and I am pleased to start the new year off right, with an update. My first update is about the
forthcoming short story entitled "The Puma's Daughter" in the anthology The Beastly Bride: Tales Of The Animal People. Cristian in Spain infomred me of the
publication date which will be April 2010. I have adjusted the chronology to reflect this.
1 January 2010
Secondly, and thanks yet again to Cristian, he infomred me that the short story "Under Fog (The Wreckers)" which was first
published in the anthology Subterfuge was reprinted in The Mammoth Book Of Best New Horror 20 only with the title "Under Fog". He also provided me
with the page numbers and mentioned to me that the author's blurb before the story listed two more forthcoming novels Court Of The Crow and Ivorian.
I have adjusted the listing and added the forthcoming novels to the chronology.
1 January 2010
My last update is yet again with many thanks to Cristian in Spain. This time he discovered an mp3 spoken word recording of
which was released in October 2009 in the anthology From Twilight Till Dawn: Great Vampire Stories, edited by Martin Greenberg. I have added a listing and added it also to
the chronology from last year (grins!!). As always, I must thank Cristian for his constant help. Happy new year, everyone!!
27 December 2009
Hello again, all. I have a quick two updates today. Cristian in Spain suggested that Amazon's publication date of August 2008 for the Benbella issue of
"Table Manners" is most probably erroneous. He suggests that Border's date of October 2009 is most likely correct so I have fixed that in the
listing an in the chronology. Thanks again, Cristian, for your research. It really is invaluable.
27 December 2009
My second update today invlolves the new story "Queens In Crimson". I have added a summary for the story as I promised yesterday. That's all
for today. More later!!
26 December 2009
Hello All, I have another few updates today. I have been informed by Cristian in Spain that the short story "Table Manners" which seems to have been
originally published as an exlusive offer by Borders Books in the anthology Immortal: Love Stories With Bitein September 2008 was first printed by Benbella Books in August of 2008.
I have therefore made the Benbella issue the first printing and added a listing. Thanks very much, as always, To Cristian for his help.
26 December 2009
Secondly, I have noticed that the new short story "The Sky Won't Listen" the Norilana anthology Sky Whales And Other Wonders is now available for order.
I have ordered my copy and I will add a listing as soon as it arrives.
26 December 2009
Thirdly I have received my copy of Hunting The Shadows: The Selected Stories Of Tanith Lee Volume Two from John Betancourt.
I have added listing for all the short stories and well as a listing for the collection itself. I want to thank John Betancourt for the copy of the book directly from
Wildside. There is one new story in the collection called "Queens In Crimson". I have added a listing and will add a summary for the story
when I have read it. Please note that some copies of the first printing of this book have page 174 blank. In the listing for the collection, you can download the missing
page if your copy is wanting it. If you ordered your copy from Wildside, you should write them, however, and ask for a replacement copy.
12 December 2009
Hello all, I have a few updates today. John Betancourt from
here. You will notice that the availabity reads "out of stock". He asked me tell everyone who was going to order it to order it from a distributor such as Amazon as their
operation has been reduced and letting a distributor handle the sales means less work for them. We have been anxiously waiting for the second volume of stories to come out from
Wildside and I am grateful for John contacting me to let me know of the status of the book. He tells me that it should be showing up on Amazon for purchase in the middle of December.
I have a copy coming in soon and when it arrives I will index the stories and create new listings.
12 December 2009
I discovered today that the Swedish translation of Piratica I was released in a mass-market paperbac in November of 2007. I don't have my contact
in Sweden anymore so I have no real way of getting this. I will be on the look out for it, however. In addition to the Swedish translation of Piratica I,
there was a hardcover printing of Piratica II in June of 2007. I have added a new listing for this translation. Again I will look for both of these for
my archive and I hope to find them. But if anyone reads this and can assist me, please contact me and we will work something out. Many thanks!
12 December 2009
My last update involved a new short story in the anthology Clockwork Phoenix 3: Tales Of Beauty and Strangeness edited by Mike Allen. The story is called "Fold" and will
be available through Norilana in July 2010. Thank you to Craig Gidney, as always, for informing me of this forthcoming story.
Also, regarding Norilana, it looks like the anthology Sky Whales And Other Wonders, edited by Vera Nazarian,
which was to be published on December 1st, has been delayed. It's listed as not being available through Amazon and there are no links yet for purchase on Norilana's page. I will
check back from time to time this month and let you know if this changes.
6 December 2009
I have some exciting news today. Psyche from the Paradys Forum has informed me that Éditions Mnémos, a French publisher, will
be reprinting the Tales From The Flat Earth Series (Called Le Dit De La Terre Plate in French) beginning with Le Maître Des Ténèbres
(Night's Master) in April 2010. These were first printed in the 1980s by Pocket. So along with Norilana, we hopefully will be introducing
a whole new generation to what is, perhaps, Tanith's most celebrated work. The following four volumes will then appear in translation as Le Maître De La Mort
(Death's Master), Le Maître Des Illusions (Delusion's Master), La Maîtresse Des Délires
(Delirium's Mistress), and Les Sortilèges De La Nuit (Night's Sorceries). Thanks very much, Psyche.
Your help is very much appreciated.
6 December 2009
My second piece of news regards the short story "Rapunzel". Cristian in Spain has found a
podcast of the story on the webiste Podcastle, as read by Rajan Khanna. I have added a listing for it in the Spoken
Word section. As always "El Torbellino" is working hard for the bibliography and it is, as always, very much appreciated.
5 December 2009
Hello, I have a quick update for today. I have added a listing for the new short story "The War That Winter Is" in the new orginal
anthology The Dragon Book edited by Jack Dann and Gardner Dozois. I have added a listing, a word count and a summary for the story.
28 November 2009
Hello and welcome a little update. I have four today. The first one is about the new vignette "Last Drink Bird Head" in the charity anthology
Last Drink Bird Head edited by Ann and Jeff Vandermeer. I have the anthology right here and it's fantastic. The charity edition is limited to 1,000 copies and it
seems that there are still some available. I've added a listing, a word count and a summary.
28 November 2009
As my second update I have added a listing for the unabridged audio recording of "Evillo The Uncunning" in Songs Of The Dying Earth:
Stories In Honor Of Jack Vance. This was released on the 15th of November.
28 November 2009
Thirdly, I have ordered my copy of The Dragon Book with the new short story "The War That Winter Is", edited by Jack Dann and Gardner Dozois. This is coming out in the
US from Ace Books, in the UK from Andersen and in Australia from Random House. It is also being released by the Science Fiction Bookclub. I have the New York, Ace edition and the
Science Fiction Bookclub editions on their way to me right now. As soon as I receive both of them, I will add a listing, a word count and a summary.
28 November 2009
Lastly, Silvia Moreno-Garcia, the editor of the Innsmouth Free Press (Online) informed me of an interview
with the author on November 17th. I have added a listing in the Secondary Resources
25 October 2009
Hello, again. I have a brief update today, thanks to Craig Gidney. Craig informed me of a new short story "Two Lions, A Witch, And A War-Robe" in the forthcoming original anthology
Swords & Dark Magic: The New Sword And Sorcery. This antology is due to be released from Harper Eos on June 22, 2010 and will be edited by Jonathan Strahan and Lou Anders.
There will also be a limited edition from Subterranean Press, but the forthcoming date of the limited edition is as yet unknown. Thanks very much, as always, to Craig
for his help.
17 October 2009
Hello again. I did some research yesterday and discovered that the UK Voyager hardcover of Songs Of The Dying Earth: Stories In Honor Of Jack Vance with
"Evillo The Uncunning" was released on October 1st. I have added a lsiting for this edition. Please note that there will be an unabridged
audio CD of the short story collection available on November 15th. I will add that listing to the Spoken Word Section when that is released.
15 October 2009
I have two quick updates today. I have added a listing for the UK edition of The Mammoth Book Of Best New Horror Volume 20 which was released today and has
the story "Under Fog (The Wreckers)".
15 October 2009
My second update involves a new short story in Icarus: The Magazine of Gay Speculative Fiction. This new story is called "Ne Que V'on Desir" and will be out in the
December issue of the magazine. It will be Tanith Lee writing as Judah Garber and will be a taster for the long awaited novel Disturbed By Her Song which will either
be released from Lethe Press in February or March 2010. I want to thank Craig Gidney very much for his hard work with Icarus and for convincing Icarus to publish her work.
And thanks also to Craig for this piece of information today.
12 October 2009
Hello, it's a holiday in the US today. Forget columbus Day, he was last in a long line of people exploring the new world. Me, I call it Lief Erikson day as the Vikings
were most definitely settled in Newfoundland in the year 1000. So let's go a-viking today and proceed with another short update!!
12 October 2009
The first news I have comes from Asma Yasmin. The new short story "The War That Winter Is" will be in an original anthology called The Dragon Book edited by Jack Dann
and Gardner Dozois. There will be three simultaneous printing of this anthology: a trade paperback in the US published by Ace Books, a hardback published in the UK by Andersen, and
a trade paperback published in North Sydney, N.S.W., Australia by Random House. The release date for this book is November 5th and when the US edition is released I will add
a listing, a word count and a summary for the story. Thanks, as always, to Asma Yasmin for her help.
12 October 2009
My second piece of news is provided by Cristian in Spain. He discovered a forthcoming werewolf anthology called Full Moon City edited by Darrel Schweitzer.
He suggests that the werewolf story "Sea Warg" which was listed in the author's update of August 2008 must be in it. It's a good assumption. So, unless we are proven wrong,
I have added this to the forthcoming listings. As always, Cristian, your help is very much appreciated, and thanks for the detective work.
12 October 2009
My last piece of news today is about the charity anthology from Wyrm
Publishing called Last Drink Bird Head. This charity anthology is a limited edition (1000 copies) hardback with all proceeds going to
Pro Literacy. Edited by Ann and Jeff Vandermeer, this anthology will have a vignette not only by Tanith Lee but also by John Kaiine. It is now available for preorder at the price
of $30.00 ($5.00 off the suggested list price) and should be released in early November. What is Last Drink Bird Head? As Wyrm says: "Last Drink Bord Head is a variation on a
surrealist writing game. We gave the phrase to over 70 writers and asked them 'who or what is Last Drink Bird Head?' The results run the gamut from the hilarious to the terrifying,
with each writer bringing their signature style and voice to the enterprise." I am really looking forward to the results. Customers who preorder the volume will have it signed by at
least one contributor or editor as well. So I think that these will go quickly. For those of you who can't or don't order the limited edition hardback, don't worry. There will be a
trade paperback of the anthology forthcoming sometime in 2010. That's the updates for today.
11 October 2009
Hello. A very quick update for today. I have added a story summary for "Evillo The Uncunning". Told you it was a qucik update!
10 October 2009
Another update today. I have finally acquired a copy of "Evillo The Uncunning". This means I have finally been able to add a listing,
and a word count for the story. I will add a summary when I have read the story and will add this some time this weekend.
10 October 2009
Bill Pearson has informed of a reprint on "Arthur's Lion" in the reprint anthology Tails of Wonder and Imagination, edited
by Ellen Datlow. This should be out in early 2010. Thanks to Bill again for that piece of information.
10 October 2009
Lastly, Cristian in Spain has let me know of a few more Ebooks that were not indexed in this bibliography. I have added a few more of those.
So, for today that's it. Thank you, as always, to everyone who helped out with this update.
8 October 2009
Hello again. Another quick update. Last month I reported on a reprint of "Under Fog (The Wreckers)", which was going to reprinted
in The Mammoth Book Of Best New Horror Volume 20, as edited by Stephen Jones. There were to be two editions: a UK printing from Robinson due on October 15th and
a US edition from Running Press due out on October 31st. Well, it seems that the US edition was released before schedule on the 22nd of September so I added a listing
for the US edition and on the 15th of October I will add a listing for the UK edition. Thanks very much again to Bill Pearson for puzzling this out for me.
8 October 2009
My second uodate involves the new short story "Clockatrice" in the October 2009 issue of
Fantasy Magazine. I added the listing yesterday. Today I have added the summary for
the story. It's a very good one and I highly encourage you all to download and send a little contribution their way. Craig Gidney also informed me that a
"Clockatrice". Clockatrice appears as a short story in the October 2009
issue of podcast as read by M.K. Hobson has also been uploaded. So I have
added a spoken word listing for the story, as well.
8 October 2009
Some of you are also probably still wondering about why there is no listing yet for the new short story "Evillo the Uncunning" in The in the Jack Vance tribute anthology
Songs Of the Dying Earth. The reason is because I have been unable to get my hands on a copy of the book or the story. I have some leads and when I have the story
in hand, I will add a listing, and a summary for that new story. So thanks very much for your patience.
7 October 2009
Please pardon my absence. My web host was migrating customers to a new server and my account was off limits for about a week. In the process, the Paradys forum has been
experiencing some problems (inability to post new topics, some of my admin actions do not work, etc.). Please bear with me, my webhost is working on this and I hope that
everything will be back to normal by the end of this week. I have several updates for today. So let's get to it.
7 October 2009
I have added a new listing for the new online short story "Clockatrice". Clockatrice appears as a short story in the October 2009
issue of Fantasy Magazine. The story is free but donations are gratefully accepted. I thank
Sean Wallace, the editor, for alerting me to the new story on his magazine. I will add a summary of the story when I have read it in full.
7 October 2009
Lastly, TaLeka Books has agreed to republish several out of print titles beginning in 2010. These are
The Birthgrave Trilogy: The Birthgrave, Vazkor, Son Of Vazkor, and
Quest For The White Witch and the Novels of Vis series: The Storm Lord,
Anackire, The White Serpent, and another new, previously as yet published original sequel to conclude
the series. Again, we thank Vera Nazarian at Norilana Books for her hard work in reissuing these too long out of print books. As I receive more details on release
dates I will add them.
13 September 2009
I have three brief updates today. I have added the Norilana reprints of Night's Master, both in hardcover and in trade paperback. I have added
listins, and cover scan pages. Norilana has done a wonderful job with the first volume of the Flast Earth Series and Vera Nazarian must be commended and congratulated for all of
her hard work and dedication to getting these long, and criminally, out of print volumes back and available.
13 September 2009
I have also added a listing for the story "The Human Mystery" in the reprint anthology The Improbabale Adventures Of Sherlock Holmes,
as edited by John Joseph Adams.
13 September 2009
The last update is thanks to Bill Pearson. Apparently The Mammoth Book Of Best New Horror Volume 20 with the story "Under Fog (The
Wreckers)" will be available October 15th in the UK and October 31st in the US. Thanks very Bill, as always, for letting me know about that.
31 August 2009
Hello all and welcome to another update. It's been awhile and I have a few things to mention today. Firstly is the news that
Norilana's reprint of Night's Master is now available. I've ordered my copy and will add a listing when I receive the books. Please note that
there are two simultaneous printins. Thers is a trade hardcover with distjacket and a trade paperback. I have ordered both and will add listings when I recieve them. Norilana will be
reprinting all five books and two new ones once a year until September 2015. Please consult the Chronology for details.
31 August 2009
Norilana will also be publishing a special short story collection called Sounds And Furies, which will commemorate the award of "Grand Master of Horror"
at the World Horror Convention in Brighton, England in March of 2010. I am still unsure of whether a limited edition will be available at the Convention itself or if those
available there will be special in some way. But for now we will assume that Norilana will have them available for sale at the Convention and through the website. If I find
out more information, I will report on it.
31 August 2009
Thirdly I have added a listing for a reprint of Nunc Dimittis in the anthology By Blood We Live. This was released August 15th.
That's all for now. More to come soon.
2 August 2009
Hello all and pardon my absence for the last two weeks. I have several updates today so let's get started. Firstly, I have added a sptry summary for
"The Pain Of Glass" in the new Norilana anthology Clockwork Phoenix 2. I neglected to mention in the last update that this
story is also a story of the Flat Earth.
2 August 2009
Secondly, it has been brought to my attention via Paradys that the short story "Under Fog (The Wreckers)" will be included in the
anthology The Mammoth Book Of Best New Horror Volume Twenty. I expect this to come out at the very end of 2009 or at the beginning of 2010, but right now I
cannot find an exact release date for this reprint anthology. When I have a more exact date on this I will report it here.
2 August 2009
Thirdly, I am EXTREMELY pleased to report that Lethe Press, which is an independent press specializing in literary fiction,
titles of gay & lesbian interest, and poetry, and science fiction, will be reissuing the Tanith Lee writing as Esther Garber books Fatal Women
and Thirty Four. These have been out of print for some time now ever since Egerton Press ceased to be. We have Criag Gidney to thank for
this development as he worked very hard to convince Lethe to reprint these. Please note, however, Fatal Women will be reissued in a slightly
altered form. In place of the Esther Garber/Yolanda Sorores collaborations or Yolanda Sorores stories there will be a new story called "Femme Fatale". In addition to these two
Tanith Lee/Esther Garber works, Lethe will publish for the first time the novel Disturbed By Her Song. We expect all three to be released sometime in 2010. I know I speak
for all Tanith Lee fans out there when I send a heartfelt thanks to Craig for all his hard work with Lethe Press.
2 August 2009
Lastly, I have to thank Bill Pearson for sending me a bit of an oddity. He sent me a BOOK CLUB EDITION of Dark Dance. Like all book club
editions, you can tell by the dustjacket and the paper, otherwise the bibliographical information is identical to the 1st edition, the London Macmillan release which came out in 1992.
I speculate this book club edition was released in 1992 but I can't be really sure. All I know - and Bill checked this out - is that it is not supposed to exist. And yet
he found it, confirmed that it was a book club release and sent it to me. So I have created a listing for it. Thanks, as always to Bill for his invaluable help. And for now that's my
news. More later with more developments.
19 July 2009
Hello, and welcome. I have two updates today. The first is about the new short story called "Our Lady Of Scarlet" in the August 2009
issue of the magazine Realms Of Fantasy. We all thought that Realms Of Fantasy had folded a few months ago and so it really gives me great pleasure to
announce this story. I've added a listing, a summary and a word count for this new story. I want to thank Nicole for letting me know that the magazine was now
available. I don't know what the circulation is like in your area but for thosed of you in North America back issues are easily obtained from Soverign Media. If
you cannot find it, please call (800) 219-1187. Issues are USD 5.00 per issue, which includes shipping and handling. Thank you very much, as always, Nicole.
19 July 2009
My second update is about the new short story "The Pain Of Glass" in the new Norilana anthology Clockwork Phoenix 2.
I've received my copy and I've added a listing and a word count. I will read it in the next new days and add a summary. For now, however, you can order
Clockwork Phoenix 2 from Amazon and Barnes and Noble among other online stores. Happy reading, everyone.
9 July 2009
It's about time for an update. It will be a brief one so here goes. Firstly the new Norilana anthology Clockwork Phoenix 2 was released July 1st.
The new story in this anthology is called "The Pain Of Glass". I've ordered my copy. When it comes in I will create a new listing, a summary and a word count.
9 July 2009
One other bit of news is that the Jack Vance tribute anthology Songs Of the Dying Earth is now shipping from
Subterranean Press. The cloth bound hardcover is $40.00 USD, however for those who would like to wait for a more reasonably priced edition, Harper
Voyager will be issuing the book in trade hardback in October. There are three issues of this anthology: 26 signed copies, housed in a custom traycase, which is sold out,
500 signed numbered copies, housed in a custom slipcase, which is also sold out, and 1474 copies of the cloth bound hardcover edtion for $40.00, of which there
seem to be more avaialble. So if you don't want to wait until October then order a copy now. I'll be adding a new listing, a summary and a word count for the Subterranean
edition when it comes to me. I want to thank Bill Peason very much as always for keeping me updated about the progress of this anthology.
9 July 2009
There is a newish short discussion, which appeared in June, on the
Voyager Online website with Tanith Lee writing about The Silver Metal Lover. It's an interesting interview and deserves a read.
I've also added the URL of this interview to the Secondary resources page.
