How the heck is there not more talk about Tanith Lee??

Like my gosh, the woman wrote, according to her wiki, 90 books, over 300 short stories, two World Fantasy Awards, and was the first woman to win the British Fantasy Award/Augus Derleth Award and wrote for tv shows.

Like, it's not like she just wrote a heck ton but wasn't very good! She was clearly very good she won awards, and i've read a swath of her stuff across different genres and really enjoyed most of it. I mean that even if not each one has been my cup of tea I can at least appreciate the skill and quite a lot I have truly enjoyed. She's got great prose and style and imagination. Not everything obviously was a banger, but they've all been at least well written, which is harder to come by in writing than you might think.

But nobody ever seems to talk about her?? And I feel like the fantasy crowd on here would really enjoy her stuff. The woman has done stuff in pretty much every genre from what I can see, but I never see her listed on fantasy authors like Clive Barker or Diana Wynne Jones or Neil Gaiman or Terry Pratchett or Diane Duane even though she was writing at the same time and has a similar sort of '80s Doing Cool Stuff with Fantasy vibe' I feel like people who like those authors would enjoy though she's very much her own style of author.

Anyway this was really just me putting out a rant that such a prolific and talented author seems to have fallen by the wayside and I think it's really a shame

Heck she even did a witch-queen fighting againt vampire Snow White a whole decade before Neil Gaiman did his phenomenal Snow Glass Apples and it's also excellent, give a look here:

Haunting the halls of used bookstores wailing "Do you have any Tanith Lee?" like a ghost asking for her children.

I hate the way, once you start to know someone, care about them, their behavior can distress you, even when it's unreasonable and not your fault, even if you were really trying to be careful, tactful.

Almost done with the text for Together Toward the Underworld, my next supplement for SpeedRune. It introduces elves and dwarves (elfs and dwarfs?) and sends the players "against" the Queen of Night, a powerful demon. (I say "against" because players also might end up worshipping or marrying the Queen; no judgment here!)

TTtU is my love letter to Tanith Lee's "Tales from the Flat Earth," which I wrote about in my Ancient World Fiction reading list. The art at the start of this post is by George Barr and comes from the DAW edition of Tanith Lee's Night's Master.

SpeedRune has been a fun project to work on, and this supplement will be my halfway point in the projected run of five books for the game. After that, maybe a master edition? A box set? As much as I loathe producing things like that.

You can get the base game, with amazing art by A. Degen, for free here.

Imagine Avon from Blake's 7 as Geralt of Rivia, Vila as Jaskier, and they're in a fantasy universe with ghosts.

The book is Kill the Dead by Tanith Lee.

Since it's become obvious I'm not buying a sofa this month, I went ahead and ordered another box from @shiftythrifting - this time, sci-fi and fantasy books!

There's actually a few of these I'm looking forward to reading, but if there are any you're dying to have, get in touch. I think most of them can be put in my book etsy. The Wishbone book is ex-library, though, you can probably do better elsewhere.

Something I didn't expect to find. A picture of the late fantasy author Tanith Lee with the late former Superman Christopher Reeves.

Taken in the 1970s by Tanith's husband John Kaiine.

Attempt at invoking something of Colleen Doran’s style in Neil Gaiman’s ‘Snow Glass Apples’ for a comic page on Tanith Lee’s vampire Snow White story, ‘Red as Blood’

Hard work and longer then I thought and no where near as sofisticated but it was fun, might do more pages but definitely after food next time xD

(Also gotta up my planning for text boxes but that’s what practice is for)
