Hi again, all. Okay so I want to let you know that I added a story summary for "Question A Stone" today. I still have not seen hide not hair of
a printed version on Amazon but I will write Deborah Ross again tonight and see what is up there.
12 February 2012
My last update for today is the oddest one I have ever added. Back in 2006 (!!) I found a listing for a Tanith Lee story in Vietnamese and I was able to interlibrary
loan the book. It showed up and I made a xerox of the relevent pages and figured out from the named used in the story that it was a translations of
"Nunc Dimittis". About seven years later (!!) I finally put out the word at my university that I needed help from a Vietnamese speaker to figure out who the translator was,
the correct name of the publisher and, perhaps most importantly of all, how to enter the Vietnamese letters which had multiple diacritics on them. I did that today and behold the
listing. It's really amazing, you know. I want to thank Viet Le at my university for helping me out with every thing.
12 February 2012
Hello again. I just wanted to let everyone know that I have finished the Dutch translations I have on hand. I hope to find more.
The last outstanding translation I need to work on adding to the bibliography is a Vietnamese translation of "Nunc Dimittis". I will be working
on this next. Thanks for your patience.
11 February 2012
Hello all. I have been very busy today adding what Dutch translations I have. I have added all of the monographs I have, and one of the
short stories. I am working on adding stories which have been appended to the translation of Volkhavaar and those which have been interspersed
with only five of the stories included in Cyrion. Please bear with me as I finish coding these and if you click on the link and find
no hypertext you'll know just why that is. I expect to finish off completely by the end of this week. Thanks for your patience.
11 February 2012
Hi again. Today I added the Japanese translations I have for the The Tales From The Flat Earth series.
11 February 2012
My only other update for today is the addition of the story summary for "The Dog-Catcher’s Song". I had read it but I had forgotten to add it
so I did that today. I am still reading "Question A Stone" and will add that story summary soon. I know that some of you have received your
copies of Cold Grey Stones from NewCon Press but I haven't yet received mine from Ian Whates. When I get that I will add that to the bibliography so thank you for
being patient.
5 February 2012
Hello All. I had another very busy weekend adding more Japanese translations. I added Japanese translations for The Book Of The Damned,
The Book Of The Beast, and Tamastara, Or, The Indian Nights. Next weekend I will adding the
Japanese translations for The Tales From The Flat Earth series.
5 February 2012
John Betancourt from Wilside Press let me know that there are going to be trade paperback reprintings of Tempting The Gods: The Selected Stories Of
Tanith Lee Volume One and Hunting The Shadows: The Selected Stories Of Tanith Lee Volume Two. He informed me that volume one would
be out in January but is listed on Amazon as being released in July and that volume two would be out in April but we don't really know when that will come out. As soon as I have any more
information, I will let everyone know.
5 February 2012
Another update I have for today is news of a republication of "Nunc Dimittis" in the anthology Obsession: Tales of Irresistible Desire
edited by Paula Guran. This will be out on June 6 of this year. Many thanks to Asma and Bill for letting me know about this one.
5 February 2012
Also Bill let me know of a reprint of "Why Light?" in The Year’s Best Dark Fantasy & Horror, 2012, edited by Paula Guran, which will be out
from Prime Books in July. Thanks very much again, Bill.
5 February 2012
My last update today is a curious one. Bill Let me know about the publication of "Question A Stone" in the anthology The Feathered Edge
edited by Deborah J. Ross. The curious thing about this one is that it has come out in an electronic version first. I wrote Deborah Ross and asked if this was to be an
electronic edition only and she kindly replied to me and informed that it will also be available as a trade paperback, due to be released Feb. 7. Deborah was kind enough for now,
to send me a copy of the story and I will buy the print anthology when it is released. I have added a listing and a word count and will add a story summary when I have read it.
Thanks to Deborah for going above and beyond the call on this one.
30 January 2012
I have had a very busy weekend coding. I have started to add the Japanese translations to the bibliograpphy. It's slow going as you might well imagine, working
from the very excellent Japanese Tanith Lee bibliography on the web, the Romanji translator, and the book itself. I have about half done. I won't list the books
I have done so far but encourage you to check out the list I have added so far on the Foreign translation page. I do need to say that
all of these books have been graciously sent to me by Tomoo Homma, who is not a Tanith Lee fan, but a music contact who resides in Tokyo. Without him I would never have
been able to acquire these books. So arrigato, Tomoo!!! I have more English updates to come but I am coded out for today. I will get to more updates next week.
Thanks for your patience.
7 January 2012
Hello everyone. Welcome to the first update of the new year. I have a very brief update today so let's get started. My first addition for the new year is the listing
for the Immanion reprint of L'Amber. I have again received my copy from Storm Constantine, for which I am very grateful yet again.
She also asked to inform you all that the next book in the Colouring Book Series is going to be Killing Violets and it is
scheduled to be released in March.
7 January 2012
For my second update I would like to add a listing for a new short story called "The Dog-Catcher’s Song" in the original anthology

add a summary within the next few days.
7 January 2012
Another update I have for today is for the reprint of "Black Eyed Susan" in the reprint anthology Heiresses of Russ 2011:
The Year's Best Lesbian Speculative Fiction. This was released late last year from Lethe Press.
7 January 2012
A few people have told me of the forthcoming anthology called Space Is Just A Starry Night from Aqueduct Press. This will actually be a whole abthology dedicated
to Tanith Lee's stories with two original stories contained within. I have added a listing in the chronology. It will be released in September.
18 December 2011
Hello all. I apologize for the long delay, but I have been dealing with a large amount of general "stuff" and I have now only been able to get to this update.
Because of the delay, it's going to be a fairly long one, so thank you for being patient with me. So let's get to it okay? Firstly, I have received my copies of the
Norilana editions of Delusion's Master. Well, I actually received them some time ago but couldn't get to my update until now.
I have added listings and cover scans for them. Remember please go out and get these please as they are the definitive editions of this work.
18 December 2011
For my second update I added a listing for the republication of "Black Fire" in the anthology Lightspeed Year One. Thanks again to Scott

18 December 2011
Returner let me know about a bunch of reprints. The first one was a republication of "Blood Chess" which came out in July of this year from
Dover Publications in the anthology Vampires: Classic Tales. I have added a listing for this one.
18 December 2011
Craig Gidney let me know about the reprinting of the short story "Black Eyed Susan" in the Lethe anthology
Heiresses of Russ 2011: The Year's Best Lesbian Speculative Fiction edited by Steve Berman. This will be coming out on December 30th so I have added it to the chronology
for now. Thank you Craig, as always.
18 December 2011
Nicole Plantinia let me know of a reprint of the story "Yellow And Red" in the reprint anthology Weird: A Compendium of Dark And Strange Stories
edited by Jeff and Ann Vandermeer. This came out in October of this Year so I have added a listing for that one. Thanks, Nicole.
18 December 2011
From Returner again I have news of the reprint of the story "Mirage And Magia" in the anthology Witches: Wicked, Wild & Wonderful
edited by Paula Guran. This will be released on March 14th of next year but I am unable to find a place of publication or a publisher for this anthology. In the meantime it is
in the chronology.
18 December 2011
Returner, you are wonderful because you also found a notice for a new story called "Felidis", forthcoming in the original anthology Under My Hat: Tales From the Cauldron
edited by Jonathan Strauss. This will be coming out next October just in time for Halloween. Again, thanks, as always, Returner.
18 December 2011
Bill Pearson let me know that Wildside Press was releasing a trade paperback edition of Tempting the Gods: The Selected Stories
of Tanith Lee Volume One in January of next year, so I have added that one also to the chronology. Thanks as always Bill for your help!!
18 December 2011
I don't remember just who let me know about this one. There was an interview back in November on the site
Tanith Lee On The Weird in Weird Fiction Review November, 2011. The author discusses her short story "Yellow And Red".
Jeff and Ann Vandermeer conducted the interview and I have added it to the Secondary Bibliography section. Again, thanks to whomever told me about this one!!
18 December 2011
Oh yes and one more from Returner. She let let me know of a new story called "The Dog-Catcher's Song" in the original anthology Human For A Day edited by Martin H. Greenberg
and published, by of all people, DAW. This was released on December 6th and I have now ordered my copy and will add it to the bibliography when it comes out.
18 December 2011
This is just a reminder to let you all know that the Immanion Press reprint edition of L'Amber is shipping now. I have not yer received my
copy from Immanion Press but when I do I will add it. Also I wanted to give you an issue date for Cold Grey Stones, first in the Imaginings Series from New Con Press.
It looks as if the release date for this one is January 26.
18 December 2011
I discovered a new - old - reprint of the story "Prince Amilec" in an anthology called A Cauldron Of Magical Stories, edited by Peter
Bailey. It was printed in London by Corgi Books way back in 2000. So I have added a listing for it. Somethings always slip through the cracks, don't they?
18 December 2011
Now onto some foreign translation news. I now have a German title for the translation of "Why Light?". It's called "Warum Das Licht" and I have a
full citation and listing now in the bibliography. In addition to this I discovered a new German of < href=""Flowers For Faces, Thorns For Feet".
This came out in an anthology entitled Das Grosse Lesenbuch Der Fantasischen Katzengeschichten and was a translation of the anthology Twists Of The Tale.
It was translated as "Blumen Als Gesichter, Dornen Als Füsse" and it was released all the way back in 2001. I have added a listing for it.18 December 2011
Here's an exciting one!! I added a new language to the translations: Romanian. I discovered a translation of the first book of Piratica.
I only found the first volume and I am pretty sure that there must be a second one out there but for now I have only been able to add the first. I added a listing and a cover scan
for this translation which came out in 2008. I will now be on the hunt for more.
18 December 2011
I have have added listings for two more Polish translations. Sometime in 2010 two anthologies were printed in Lublin called Wielka Ksiega Fantasy, which was a translation of
The Mammoth Book Of Fantasy and Wielka Ksiega Potorów which was a translation of The Mammoth Book Of Monsters. Wielka Ksiega Fantasy contains
a translation of "A Hero At The Gates" and Wielka Ksiega Potorów contains a translation of "The Hill".
I have added listings for both of these.
18 December 2011
For my last listing in this very l-o-n-g update, I have a new Russian translation to add. This one is a translation of "Venus Rising On The Water".
It appeared in 2010 in an anthology entitled Vampiry Opasnye Svjajei which is a translation of The Mammoth Book Of Vampire Stories By Women edited by Stephen Jones.
I have added a listing for this translation. Well, that is it for today!! Now I am going to go and rest my eyes. I'll be back soon.
6 November 2011
Hello all, I have a few brief updates today. The first involves the new "Imaginings" series from NewCon Press. Tanith's collection,
entitlted Cold Grey Stones will be released early in January 2012 and will include eleven stories, six of which are reprints and five of which are original to the collection.
6 November 2011
My second piece of news is a sad one. Cristian in Spain let me know that Realms of Fantasy is really closing down for real this time.
The Octobber 2011 issue will be the very last. I had reported a while back that there was to be a new story called "The Pretty Knife" in a forthcoming issue of Realams
of Fantasy and it, unfortunately, will not be in the last issue. We hope the story will get picked up by someone else. For now, however, it remains, just a listing
in the chronological file.
6 November 2011
Scott Gould let me know of a reprint of Black Fire in the anthology Lightspeed Year One. The anthology will be released on 22 November.
So I have added a listing for this new reprint.
Thanks very much, Scott.
6 November 2011
My last piece of news is that the Norilana edition of Delusion's Master is now available from all the usual suspects. As soon as I have
received copies I will add them to the bibliography. That's it for now. Stay tuned for another update.
16 October 2011
Hello, all, I have a very brief update today. I have added a story summaries for "A House On Fire" and "Empires Of Glass"
which were in the anthologies I received and for which I added an update on Octpber 10th. That is really all the news I have for today, Please stay tuned for another update soon.
10 October 2011
Hello again, all, and Happy Lief Erikson Day. Yes, I know it's supposedly Columbus Day here in the United States but, as the Vikings were here about 500 years before
Christopher Columbus, to me, well, it's Lief Erikson Day. Anyhow, I have a few updates today so let's begin, shall we? For my first update I have added a listing and a
word count for the new short story "Empires Of Glass" in the anthology The Immersion Book Of Steampunk edited by Gareth D. Jones
and Carmelo Rafala. I will add a summary when I have read it, and that will be soon as it's a fairly short story.
10 October 2011
For my second update I have added a listing and a word count for the new short story "A House On Fire" in the anthology Haunts: Reliquaries of
the Dead edited by Stephen Jones. I will add a story summary as soon as I have read it and that will also be fairly soon.
10 October 2011
I have also received my Spanish translations of Piratica and Piratica II. Cristian in Spain let me know
of this omnibus edition. It was published in Barcelona by Roca Editorial and I must say that it's an odd way to reprint books. It's not exactly a reprint. It's the original
Roca editions of 2006 and 2007 in their laminated boards gathered by an extra large dustjacket wrapped around both volumes. I haven't created a separate listing for the
omnibus edition and have just indexed the volumes separately with a note to explain their "situation". Granted, I find the presentation to be a bit "Cheap", nevertheless,
as the holder of the North American archive I am happy to have it and I thank Cristian in Spain for letting me know about it.
2 October 2011
Welcome to another update. I have two today so let's begin. My first update is for To Indigo. I have added a listing, a word count,
and a summary for the book. I wanted, again, to thank Storm Constantine at Immanion Press for graciously sending me a copy of the book.
It is most appreciated.
2 October 2011
For my second update I have added listing for the Polish translations of Piratica and Piratica II.
Both published by Wydawnictwo Jaguar in 2010 and both translated by Grzegorz Komerski, I am still keeping my eyes open for Piratica III.
There is also some very good news in that the Polish booksellers by which I was able to purchase these also are willing to do bookserach for the other seven Polish titles for
which I am looking. I have added listings for both of the books I have in hand.
19 September 2011
Hello again, a quick update follows a long one from yesterday. Firstly I have to wish the authoress a very happy birthday!!! Happy Birthday Tanith from everyone in Paradys
and all the fans out there!!! So let's get to my update today. Firstly I have added a listing for the reprint of the short story "The Crow"
which originally appeared in Disturbed By Her Song. The reprint of the story is in Best Gay Short Stories 2011
edited by Peter Dubé and published by Lethe Press. I have also added a listing for Kindle and Nook Color editions. I wanted to thank Craig Gidney, as always, for telling about this.
19 September 2011
I also added a listing for the electronic publications of "Last Drink Bird Head" for the Kindle and the Nook Color, which was
released in July 2010. I suppose the trade paperback which was slated to be released after the limited edition hardbacked was scrapped. I want to thank Returner for letting me
know about this one.
19 September 2011
I have just received an email from Cathy Reed Weber from Pea Green Boat an ezine where Tanith Lee will be giving an interview

It sounds interesting, no? And I hope some of you will read this. Thanks to Cathy for letting me know about this forthcoming interview.
19 September 2011
Lastly, I have word of a few translations. I was alerted to a translation of "Zinder" into Italian from last September by Angela Bruno
Rao. She gave me all the bibliographical details (except the page numbers) and I have added a listing to the bibliography. Thank you Angela, and I apologize for not getting
to this sooner. Also Cristian is Spain let me know of the Spanish translation of an omnibus edition of Piratica and
Piratica II published by Roca Editorial in April of this year. I have ordered a copy from the newly launched Amazon Spain. In my travles to find
this one, I also discovered Polish translations of Piratica and Piratica II printed in Warsaw by Jaguar
in 2010. So I went ahead and ordered those as well for the North American Archive. I want to thank Cristian, as always, for helping me to discover both of these.
18 September 2011
I have a few updates for today. The first is my addition of the reprinted translation of Dark Dance into German.
This reprinted translation is entitled Schwarzer tanz and has been printed by Wilhelm Heyne Verlag in August of this year. I have added a new listing and
a cover scan.
18 September 2011<
To everyone who has been waiting for To Indigo from Immanion Press, I just wanted to let everyone know that is out out and available for order.
It can be ordered from Immanion directly here for now. I don't see it available through
either of the Amazons as yet. I have written Storm Constantine who has kindly offered to send me gratis copies and I hope that I will get mine soon. Also Storm
Constantine said that a reworked version of L'Amber will be released by Immanion oin December.
18 September 2011
The rest of my updates are forthcoming publications. The first one immediately on the horizon is The Immersion Book Of Steampunk, edited by Gareth D. Jones
and Carmela Rafala. Craig told me about this and told me that the name of the short story is called "Empire of Glass". I will be ordering this anthology in the
next couple of days when it is released. Thanks Craig.
18 September 2011
I have news from Bill Pearson of another author dedicated anthology from NewCon Press. There is going to be a new series called "Imaginings"
where each of the authors in this series will have their own anthology of short fiction already publiszhed with some new offerings. Bill forwarded me an email from
NewCon - the information doesn't seem to be available yet on their website - which read:
"NewCon Press is proud to announce an exciting new venture, Imaginings. A series of short story collections (approximately 50,000 words); each volume will feature the
work of a single selected author, bringing together the very best of that author’s previously published but uncollected short fiction, as chosen by the author themselves,
plus original stories. Imaginings will be published at three or four month intervals. The first volume will appear January 2012. There will be a signed and numbered hardback
edition limited to 100 or 125 copies, plus an e-book & kindle version. No paperback edition. Each volume of Imaginings will feature generically similar cover design and layout
(though with individual cover art), so that the books build into a credible series. The signed hardback editions of Imaginings will be available to buy via the NewCon Press website,
priced at £19.99 (plus shipping, currently £2.50 per book within the UK). Or… Imaginings can be purchased via subscription. The advantages?
Reduced price. Two volumes: £38.00, three volumes: £55.00, four volumes: £72.00.
Shipping within the UK will be free (and discounted for overseas subscribers).
Subscribers will ‘buy’ a number within the limited edition run. Every volume you receive will feature that number, which remains yours exclusively until the subscription lapses,
at which point it will become available to others.
In addition to the hardback volume, subscribers will receive a free copy of the e-book.
Subscribers are guaranteed a copy of a high quality, very limited book which is likely to sell out rapidly and become highly collectable.
The first six authors to feature in Imaginings have already been selected. The precise order of publication has yet to be determined, depending on a number of factors;
not least the authors’ individual schedules and commitments. Alphabetically, then, the first six authors to grace Imaginings with their finest work will be: Nina Allan,
Stephen Baxter, Pat Cadigan, Jon Courtenay Grimwood, Tanith Lee, and Adam Roberts. To subscribe and ensure you don’t miss out, contact Ian Whates at: finiang@aol.com".
That's all the information I have. I find it quite worrying for print culture. I read that ONLY 100-125 copies of the hardound book will be printed and the rest of the people
not fortunat enough to get a copy of the physical book will have to settle for an ebook. I wrote Ian Whates to ask him for clarification earlier this week and I have not heard
back at all. So, Ian, if you read this, please answer me email. Tanith Lee fans really want to know what the deal is!! I don't have a title for the anthology and I don't know when
Tanith's anthiology will be released. When I have more specifics I will update this information.
18 September 2011
Scott gould sent me a press release from Book trade Info which told of a new electronic publishing venture
launched by Gollancz called SF Gateway which is going to be republishing (electronically only, mind you) past classics of Science
Fiction and Fantasy authors. It looks like (as of today) the venture will be lauched on October 1. I will be adding the publications to the bibliography as they are released and made
available. Thanks to Scott for letting me know about this new publishing venture.
18 September 2011
Next forthcoming notice was sent to me by Craig Gidney. There will be a new short story in an upcoming issue of Realms Of Fantasy. The title is "The Pretty
Knife" but I don't know when this issue will come out of if it will be the next issue or even be printed this year. If I hear any more about this I will let you know.
18 September 2011
My last update today, and perhaps my most important, comes from Bill Pearson and Nicole Plantiana. Since Tanith's website has been down they have been periodically
checking to see if it has come back up. Well, they both wrote me and informed me that the author's website has been pinched by a Finnish company offering payday loans. I
checked Whois.com and found out that it got bought on Sept. 11 and won't be available again Sept. 12 of next year. Bill Pearson and I are working on contacting Tanith
and getting an alternative website up and running to replace it OR we will just wait and claim it back next year. This is all I know for now. I have no other information
at all. Bill and I ask you to be patient while we figure this out in conjunction with the author. Thanks!!
