marthawellsSome good news:
Both Queen Demon and the Storyteller: A Tanith Lee Tribute anthology, made it on the Locus Recommended Reading List:
https://locusmag.com/2026/02/2025-recommended-reading/
with a lot of other excellent books and stories, including a new section for translated works.
You can also vote on the list for the Locus Awards. Anybody can vote here with an email address: https://poll.voting.locusmag.com/ though they have you fill out a demographic survey first with how many books you read per year, etc.
Of course a lot of great work did not end up on the list, like I was surprised not to see The Witch Roads and The Nameless Land duology by Kate Elliott, which I thought was excellent.

Date: 2026-02-09 03:51 am (UTC)Congratulations! I am loving the story of Kai and his found family: it's exactly my kind of thing. And the last scene in Queen Demon completely gobsmacked me. I'm glad that so many others feel the same way.
I need to read Storyteller already. I purposely bought two copies when I backed it because I wanted to be able to give my sister one, but I've mostly fallen out of the habit of reading Dead Tree editions, so I keep forgetting I have it.
