World Fantasy Award-winning short story "The Gorgon" is the brilliant shocker that leads off this scintillating collection of Tanith Lees 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.

"I told you, I can't explain. Perhaps it's instinct. She might--harm the children."
"Do you really think so?" Claude Irving asked with some eagerness.
The tales deal with such fantastic beasts as gorgons, succubi, unicorns, dragons, weres, kelpies, selkies. Several of the stories are absolutely creepy, among them "Magritte's Secret Agent" and "Sirriamnis." Besides those already mentioned, I especially liked the humorous "Draco, Draco," (which like several of the tales had a clever twist and subversion of genre) and the last story, "La Reine Blanche," which had a fairy tale feel (and obviously inspired the cover.) I'd also note I last read these stories decades ago when I first bought the book, and yet I remembered most of these stories, or at least elements of them, if not right from the title, yet paragraphs in--that's not usual with short stories but these are standouts.
