“Empire of Glass” ( The Immersion Book of Steampunk, 2011) “Midnight” ( Weird Tales, March-April 2004) “The Reason for Not Going to the Ball (A Letter to Cinderella from Her Stepmother)” ( The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, October-November 1996)
“Awake” ( Swan Sister: Fairy Tales Retold, 2003) “She Sleeps in a Tower” ( The Armless Maiden and Other Tales for Childhood’s Survivors, 1995)
“Magpied: (Translated from the Germanic-Alurguric Poem of the Same Name)” ( Weird Tales, Summer 2013) “Snow-Drop” ( Snow White, Blood Red, 1993) Two of the stories have never been previously been published. Redder Than Blood contains 18 short stories and one novella, “My Life as a Swan.” Most of the stories appeared in Datlow/Winding anthologies like Snow White, Rose Red and Black Heart, Ivory Bones, or in magazines like Weird Tales. It’s a companion volume to Red as Blood, or Tales from the Sisters Grimmer (1983), a paperback original published by DAW with a Michael Whelan cover no less than twenty-five years ago (above right).ĭark fairy tales were a Tanith Lee specialty, and she wrote a lot of them. I’m especially appreciative that DAW also saw fit to release a brand new short story collection of dark fairy tales, Redder Than Blood, last year. Most have covers by French artist Bastien Lecouffe Deharme (website here). That hasn’t happened, and it’s mostly due to the efforts of her long-time publisher DAW Books, who over the last three years has gradually been returning some of her most popular work to print in gorgeous new paperback editions, including all five Flat Earth novels, the Wars of Vis trilogy, the Birthgravetrilogy, and the just-released novella collection Companions on the Road. Tanith Lee passed away in 2015, and at the time I worried that meant her work would quickly vanish from bookstores.
