In this new collection, which contains most of the ghost stories of Tanith Lee - including 4 new tales original to this volume - Lee slips freely through the full gamut of Fantasy, SF, Horror, Historical, Parallel and Contemporary genres. The themes range, amongst others, with a lost love in early 20th Century New Zealand, a bullied child in 1970's India, into the underhill palace of a brooding magician in search of wonders, among the guests of a modern spiky wedding-breakfast, and beside a psychic, on a far planet whose damson skies are adrift with flying whales... The moods conjured are dark, unnerving or plain nasty; or else sad, tender, kind and - now and then - outright crazy. Turn up the light And don't look behind you.
