I salute you Tanith Lee !! I just found out Tanith passed away in May this year, at age 67. She formed a huge part of my childhood and teens. I was so obsessed with her work, that I'd always be on the lookout for the latest T.Lee, and was actually quite embarrassed about the addiction before I finally outgrew her. Yet, she will always remain a part of me. :)

Thanks for that, David! I guess i was too busy with work at the time that she passed to have picked up the news... :(

She had been my first introduction to the idea of alluring transgression, which she could present with such stylish elegance and wit, that one could not but want to sip more of the heady absinthe she could lay before you.
When i saw that she had sadly passed away due to breast cancer, i was thinking that i should read a Tanith Lee again to honor her memory. I will take up your recommendation then, and get myself a copy of A Different City.
Cheers Tanith, may you live forever!
