World Fantasy Award-winning short story "The Gorgon" is the brilliant shocker that leads off this scintillating collection of Tanith Lee's tales. The other tales backing it up range from horror and the supernatural to science fiction, all from the writer who has been justly termed "Princess Royal of Heroic Fantasy." Here you will find unforgettable encounters of men and beasts, dragons and unicorns, cats and seals, virgins and vampires. This is truly a feast for everyone whose taste runs to a gourmet imagination. World Horror Grand Master Tanith Lee here offers eleven tales of monsters, men, and mythic maidens.
