Items related to The Book of the Beast
THE BOOK OF THE DAMNED: Tanith Lee creates in three dark novellas an alternate world where horror and eroticism charge the atmosphere, a realm where night is always falling and nothing is as it seems. In the vampire tale "Stained in Crimson", the esthete Andre St. Jean wonders just "How fast does a man run when the Devil is after him?" Set in medieval Paradys, "Malice In Saffron" tells the terrifying story of the violated Jehanine and her nights of wreaking revenge on the men who have wronged her. In "Empires of Azure", a mysterious man pushes a note across the table to Mlle. St. Jean foretelling his untimely death. THE BOOK OF THE BEAST: It was created on the fifth day of the Earth; not bird, nor man, nor lizard, but somehow all at once -- the Beast. Through the ages, men have fought it with sorcery, alchemy and chastity. yet all the while there were cries in the night and blood on the stones in the morning. From the most ancient of days, passed through the seed of generations, still it preys -- on the unlucky, the unwary, the unchaste. THE BOOK OF THE DEAD: "Paradys too has its cemeteries...." The search for dark secrets deepens in Book III of the Paradys tetralogy, a powerful collection of short stories peopled with tortured souls that lie buried here as in a fragile prison. With her finely crafted and masterful prose, Tanith Lee brings to life these agonized souls and twisted half-creatures, wreaking havoc in their twilight world, where death is only the beginning. THE BOOK OF THE MAD: In her darkly dazzling finish to THE SECRET BOOKS OF PARADYS, Tanith Lee tempts the reader with a tale of horror, lust and madness that leaves no perversity untouched, no taboo unbroken. This time, the seductive nightmare unfolds in three parallel versions of the City -- Paradis, Paradys and Paradise. The fourth book in the Paradys series is linked brilliantly to the previous three not by plot but by its shared venue: the atmospheric city of Paradys.
