Welcome to Litsy!

Beautiful, vain, and terminally ill, Christian retreats to his ancestral chateau in the countryside to die. But legend, superstitions, and a pair of lurking wolves distract him. Tanith Lee‘s writing is colorful and strange (everything is animated: cars are alert, fireplaces excavate) and the story is compelling, dark, freaky. Winter figures prominently; it would be a good one to save for a snowy weekend. 🐺❄️

Some #OldCoolBooks catch up... #yellowedpages and #bookspines - these Tanith Lee books (1977-1981) either have really yellowed or maybe they always had yellow pages. The one in particular is pretty much turmeric coloured. 💛
