Volume two of the magical short story collection by Nebula and World Fantasy Award winner Tanith Lee, author of The Silver Metal Lover and The Birthgrave.
"Gothic poetess, comic young-adult author, robust adventure-fantasy novelist: Tanith Lee has more writing personas than Sybil. But in her short fiction, all these aspects come gloriously together. Such stories as 'Antonius Bequeathed' or 'The Persecution Machine ' with their death-defying mixture of prose poetry, genre trope reversals and ominous wit, could be written by no one else." - WEIRD TALES magazine
Stories include: "The Woman in Scarlet " "One For Sorrow " "Unlocking the Golden Cage " "Antonius Bequeathed " "Doll Skulls " "Queens in Crimson " "Flower Water " "The Persecution Machine " "All the Birds of Hell " "Vermilia."
