Tamastara, or The Indian Nights
All the magic and mystery of fabled India is woven into these marvel
tales of seven strange nights. For that vast land which many have
conquered and none have subdued is the home of ten thousand gods and a
hundred thousand demons--and the teeming races that dwell on its
shrouded plains and marbled cities have kept their mystic secrets.
Only
the vivid imagination of Tanith Lee, who has been rightly called
"Princess Royal of Heroic Fantasy," could penetrate the nighted veils
of India's lore. In Tamastara she does so to delight the mind and season with scented curry the imagination of the West.
Here
are hidden gods and demonic possession, here are were-beasts and
subterranean terrors, here are beings transformed and souls reborn,
here is Terror and Wonder. Winner of the World Fantasy Award and the
August Derleth Award, Tanith Lee is at her best in this new book.
